Hello Kosowski85,
May I be the first to welcome you to the forum.
With regards to the Cross of Valour shown it dates from 1993, produced in Poland these appear from time to time with different ribbons.
The sure give away is the sword guard with the upturned edges.
Once again welcome to the forum
Best wishes
Andrzej

Hello Kosowski85,
Yes, your seller is absolutely right. This KW was made in Moscow (USSR), the Moscow-mechanical stamping plant in 1944-1945. Position in Krogulec reference - L3.
Hook on the ribbon is likely made the owner of this KW
Best wishes, Sergei.

Yes, your seller is absolutely right. This cross was made in Moscow (USSR), the Moscow-mechanical stamping plant in 1944-1945. Position in Krogulec’s reference - L3.
Hook on the ribbon is likely made the owner of this cross.
Sincerely, Sergei.
Thank you Sergei!
Is the 'reverse' ribbon a trait of Soviet made KW? I've not seen it often, but then as you can tell I am a complete novice on the matter.

Ribbons for Soviet-made KW sewn at the top.
(Sorry, this theme is created for a negotiated about Exile Types.)

Hallo, Iron Hussar!
Are you interested in the authenticity of the cross or the type?

Hi GraphiKS,
Authenticity I am very much looking forward to getting one of these into my collection. It looks good to me, but I'm not sure about the font on the 1920...

There is no reason for concern. Small KW Knedler (Krogulec # 5 ) has just such a font 1920.
Krogulec: «Figures date considerably higher and have a different typeface».
I wish You a good purchase!
