Polish cross of merit

[aussiecollector]

Would anyone please advise if in their opinion the following is an original Cross of Merit from about 1946. I am looking to acquire this to part complete a collection and would appreciate opinions as to whether it is an original item.
Many thanks in advance for your help, Best regards - Michael.

Hi Michael,

This cross was either the product of Caritas (Warsaw) or B. Grabski (Łódź), and according to the Z. Krotke reference the period of manufacture was 1944-52. It appears to be entirely genuine. Nice to see that it's complete with the early pattern case.

Cheers,
Tony
