In fact, I've got two with their award booklets (& another one without).

Here are the two attributable ones:

Added interest to this little group - a Warsaw Cross as well as a Partisan Cross.

Very nice Leigh. What do the Partisan's Cross's run these days?

I don't know - the unattributable nice shiny new ones I would'nt want to pay more than a few pounds for, but yours is in such a case - is it original to the Cross & does it have a design or wording on the lid?

There were 14142 Partisan Crosses awarded, up until 1/1/2000, when awards stopped.

Leigh, I've been told the case is not for the cross. It does not have any markings on it.

I wondered, Id've thought it would be in a red card case.
