Those are nice... Can you please tell us what they are? Are they WW2 era? I have three post war(I think) medals as well.

[Riley1965]

I've edited to post and listed the medals.

Thanks Riley! Again, awesome collection! I have a Cross of Merit second class. How difficult was it for you to find the First Class?

[Riley1965]

I buy my Polish ODMs from Professor Wesoloski. He has the Merit Cross with swords 1st-3rd Class reserved for me. I'll buy them on the 1st and this display case will be complete. In 4 months I'll have all 5 classes of the Order of Virtuti Militari.

I only own one Polish Cross for Valor/1939 to a Soviet. Recently saw a great group with photos of a Pole wearing both his Sov & Polish stuff. 2 really nice photos in the group.

I'll soon have all variations of the Cross of Valor except the Type 1 Lenino ($1000). I may go ahead and get it, too, just to have a truly complete set.
