Monte Cassino cross

[prosty zolnierz]

found this today at an antiques centre. it would appear the seller was clueless on geography as it was tagged up as " French Medal " ! from info. gleaned on 'tinternet it belonged to a 5th. Kresowa chap.

Hi Michal,

It was a pleasure to provide you with the information, I know when I started collecting Monte Cassino Crosses over 30 years ago. A collector stood no chance of obtaining the information unless you could prove that you where next of Kin.

Once again it is a pleasure to help as much as I can with information.

Best wishes

Andrew

Hi Kuba,

The proverbial “needle in a haystack” comes to mind. It a most worthy pursuit and I certainly can’t blame you for trying. Despite your odds of 1:48500, maybe you’ll strike it lucky . . . but don’t hold your breath!

Cheers,
Tony
