Thank you Wadowicznic, Useful information indeed. My grandfather died in 1976 and is survived by one of his children, my uncle who is now 87 years old. I will refresh his father's story with him with the aim of sharing it on this forum. Thank you also to steering me towards "Stalin & the Poles". Both sides of my family are latterly from the Kresy and had first hand experience of Uncle Joe's methods of revenge. Best Regards, Ryszard.
Friends,
My next question concerns this interesting crucifix. I believe it to be my Grandfather's from WWII. You will see that instead of the INRI plaque, this crucifix has a plaque with a helmet (?) on the RHS and something else with "II" marked on it on the LHS. Is the latter a reference to the Polish Army 2nd Corps? Hope you will be as intrigued as me? Regards, Ryszard.
Dziękuję Ci, Kosa. I feel very priveleged to own one from my Grandfather! Pozdrawiam, Ryszard.

Good pictures featuring another specimen of the rare variant that was discussed / IDed before.
Mid-east made.
Good day gentlemen
Would I be correct in identifying these two eagles as Gaunt made?
Would the one that has had the central post replaced by two blades be a Gaunt too?
Many thanks
James
