43 PSK
What do you think? I have feeling it is a copy, maybe old copy.

**zakstradamus** · 06-10-2010, 04:29 AM

Yes, I believe your are correct. If it had a J. Panasiuk nut, I'd say odds are better. Like this one...

Sorry Mariusz, but it looks like a copy. Here's a genuine Gontarczyk made 43PP. Sold for 2200zl in Nov. 2009.

Tony

Thank you, I wanted to ask before I would buy it. Badge looked strange to me.

Polish Samaritan Badge

I bought this a few months ago on auction. Not sure its authentic or not but it didn't cost much so I took a chance. Can anyone provide info on the Polish Samaritan movement - all I could find is that it was created to provide care and relief to individuals in Partitioned Poland in WW1. I belief it started in the USA. This badge has the word Samaritan on its back.

Hey Dastier and welcome to the forum

Would It be possible to get a shot of the back of the cross? Ive never seen a samaritan badge in that design.

Heres another one up for sale but with a completly different design.
