Glad you like it. Sounds like your grandfather was my grandfather's predecessor in this post. It's kind of funny how things fit together...

These are some of my Polish Medals. My Dad brought them back from Poland about ten years ago. Unfortunately my normal collecting area is British and Commonwealth, so I have no idea what they are. Can anyone identify them?

Thanks

Thanks for identifying them, the Order of Polonia Restitutia doesn't have a crown on the eagle, I take it this means its communist era?

Thanks
