    Hello Igor, are you able to post a photo the cover of this catalogue?

    Here's is an excerpt from an study on French made VM's written by one of the foremost experts on the subject, Arkadiusz Pawlowski. The cross discussed here is a pre-war made example like Jaxmon's (click on images to magnify view):

    Virtuti Militari Thread

    I purchased this post war made version of the cross from Wojciech Stela, author of a recently released book on the VM and well known expert on Polish badges and decorations.

    Mr. Stela told me that he purchased it along with the remaining Polish items stored in the vault while on a visit to Bertrands shop in Paris back in the 1990's.

    Wonderful “Holy Trinity” set. And of course, the Lit-Bial cross and award document are just more icing on the cake. I can count one hand how many such VM sets I’ve seen containing issue cross, diploma and the 1933 ‘transit pass’. Seldom encountered. Congratulations on a super acquisition and thank you for sharing this with us.

    Cheers,
    Tony

    Default VM with TS stamp

    I have a few questions regarding this piece. TS stands for the jewellery shop owned by T. Iwanski and E. Slezaka. I don’t have any knowledge of this jewellery shop. Does anyone know which years they produced VM? Did they only produce VM or other decorations as well? Which year was this VM produced?
    Any help will be appreciated.
