Hi Stanislaw,
You are correct the Silver Cross Virtuti Militari Numbered 7677, was awarded to Porucznik Tadeusz Stecki ( Born in 1895, Killed in Action 10th November 1918) in Wesolowski's book on the recipients of the Virtuti Militari, Stecki is listed as being in the 3 Pulk Piechoty Legion, but alive in 1922. But on his families web site they list him as being in the 8 Pulk Piechoty Legion.
In the Recipients of the Virtuti Militari by Dr Andrzej Suchictz he is listed as Por. sp.Kazimierz Stecki.
I have not had the time as yet to check through the Army Orders to check his details when I have I will post the relevant information.
Best wishes

Hi Again Stanislaw,
I have just gone through, "Lista Starszenstwa Oficerow Legjonow Polskich (12 Kwietnia 1917) ( Seniority List of Officers of the Polish Legion dated 12th April 1917).
Tadeusz Stecki is listed as a Chorazy 12th October 1914, Podporucznik 1st April 1916, all whilst he was serving with 3ppLeg.
I will see what if any information I can find and will post it A.S.A.P.
Best wishes

Thank you Andrzejku for confirming that. I wonder why the seller is confused and describes it as from 1940.

Hi Stanislaw,
I have already emailed the seller when I noticed it this morning.

Would a Second World War issued VM be worth more than a pre war one?
