    I sincerely hope that the above photographs address your question AlienKingPL, but as always happy to help it would seem that the ring on your cross may be a replacement, that is why I said better photographs needed in my first reply.

    Best wishes

    sorry but forgot to post photos of the ring on the front, I read this could mean the ring has been replaced

    does the fact that the bottom ring is smooth indicate that the cross is fake?

    Hello AlienKingPL,

    Many thanks for your quick reply and the better photograph the enamel seems also to be poorly finished from your photograph , the main manufacturer of the Order was the Warsaw based firm of Wiktor Gontarczyk.

    It may be that this is a copy produced in France ?

    Hopefully one of the other forum members will add their comments.

    Best wishes

    Hello AlienKingPL,

    Many thanks for your post, I have found the original drawings for the Commanders Cross by the French Firm Delande

    which shows the same design of ring has produced by Gontarczyk.

    It is hard to really be sure of anything from mere photographs, but it might even be a piece produced post war in the UK ?

    Best wishes

    Andrzej
