Virtuti Militari Thread

Hi Tony,

You are absolutely right. The War Relics Forum is a treasury of invaluable knowledge and experience acquired for a very long time in most cases. Unfortunately, some people are looking here for a shortcut.... I can even understand this and forgive but I hate when someone is cheating. It is not fair if you are helping and dealing with your great and valuable knowledge and receive in return tissue of lies. It would be much better if he just ask for some research instead of telling the fake story and creating ideology....

Regards,
Jacek

One currently on e-Bay:

is it 7503or 7505 ?

[A.J. Zawadzki]

It looks more like 7505 as the top of the last numeral is flat.

Regards,
Tony

Hello Everyone,

Back in the 1980's I visited the Józef Piłsudski Institute in London and photographed a number of items this is a piece of the Grand Cross Sash ribbon of the Grand Cross of the Order Wojenny Virtuti Militari that was placed on the Marshal's coffin.







There is even a wax seal with card dated 20th May 1935
