Polish Unit Badge on a Cross of Grunwald 3rd Class

[Gordon Craig]

Gentlemen,

This cross came to me in a bag of medals last weekend.  It has what appears to be a unit badge attached to it.  I have seen similar badges on the net IE different colours, but not one in red and white.  Does anyone out there know which unit used this insignia?

Regards,

Gordon

Hello Gordon,

Sorry for this late reply, but I just turned member, lol.

Think Lukasz replied to this question in another thread? My personal opinion is, that the attachment has nothing to do with the Grunwald Cross at all. It's a crowned eagle and may hint at some "officers" or "reserve/veterans" association after 1990. Personally I would never remove it, because the recipient probably attached it himself for some reason. After the fall of Communism people started attaching all sorts of "organizational emblems" to their ribbons, possibly because they had no where else to attach them. They became members of Regimental Veteran Groups and received a membership badge.....why not place it on your bravery awards?

Anyway - that is my personal opinion.

Best regards Aahauge
