Cross of Valour (Krzyż Walecznych) – Pre-WW2 Types

Article about: by IvanPutski Here's another little tidbit on that cross.... It was awarded to a fighter pilot. Hello Ivan, OK, the suspense builds . . . so now how about giving us the name? The award lists

    Pics as promised. The genuine cross is die stamped, the fake cast, as expected. The casting process often results in thicker products, which is what we have here.

    I'm a bit mystified why anyone would want to go to the trouble of faking what is actually a rather common cross that typically sells for under $50.

    Regards,

    This cross is stamped out and hand filed/finished. i have had it for about 10 years, it came from Rotmistrz Medwicz collection. The material, the color and the patina is good and as it should be. It was not mass produced. As far as Warsaw in 1970's ... who knows?

    Yes, your cross is genuine, same as the example shown on the left in my pictures.

    It is a post war made cross, but not absolutely certain as to exactly year of production.

    Here’s one currently listed for sale ( Krzyż Walecznych z legitymacjÄ… antydatowanÄ… na 1949 rok. - Odznaczenia, odznaki, broÅ„ biaÅ‚a: PSZnZ ) with the following description:

    >>> Krzyż Walecznych z legitymacją antydatowaną na 1949 rok.Dokument w bardzo dobrym stanie zachowania. Krzyż wykonany w latach 70-tych. Stan zblizony do idealnego. Wstążka - Londyn, lekko przybrudzona. <<<

    Translated “Cross of Valour with award document antedated to 1949 . . . cross made in the 1970’s . . . ribbon – London . . . “

    I’d agree that a large quantity was not likely produced, although these are not uncommonly seen on the market. Again, increasingly of late these numbered copies have been cropping up.

    Hi Dzianis,

    Unfortunately there are no known surviving records of KW awards by serial number. About the only of knowing the name of the recipient is if there is an original numbers matching award document accompanying the cross.

    Regards,
    Tony

    PS thanks for your post Itakdalej. Aside from the ovious ribbon difference your cross matches up well to the one for sale. Please keep us posted if you obtain any more information on this variant.
