Genuine cross.cool militaria

The cross itself appears genuine. With the recent unfortunate passing of Andrzejku we do not have access to the list of recipients to identify the name of the original owner of cross 29349. Andrzej...

Thanks for your work Kevin cool militaria

Hi Mittra, yes, correct. This is the scarcest of the three types.

Welcome to the forum Prusak. Your English is good, no problems. Let's hope someone posts more information on this soldier.

Greetings Andrzejku and Wisnia,

I’ve been asked for the name of the recipient of number 98. May I impose on one of you to check the list for me?

Many thanks in advance,
Tony

So in light of Andrzej's reply you bought this cross without reading the seller's description? :confused:

Also, mittra, may I ask that you slow down and put a little more effort into proper...

This 12397 sold yesterday, properly identified as a copy:

Hello Majchrzii and welcome.

Until recently it was thought to be 48821. Recent research states that the final issued Monte Cassino cross was numbered 48847:

This information was brought to...

Hi Artur, impressive record keepingcool militaria I see well known fake 36430 has snuck its way into your list.

They do exist, but are rare. The cross in your picture is suspended from what appears to be a genuine ribbon, however, both suspension rings are not original items. A bad omen for the cross, which...

From Wikipedia, but I believe also posted earlier in this thread, or in another of the parallel threads:

Hello Andrzej and Philip,

I used to be of the same opinion that the unnumbered Monte Cassino cross was a myth. Every one I encountered claiming to be genuine was not. But then two things...

Thanks for posting this Andrzejku cool militaria. Wonderful to see such an incredible family grouping surviving fully intact, and especially as the main component relates to the Polish 2nd Corps...

And now for something completely different. Some years back I had the opportunity to purchase this Italian State Mint test pressing of the cross. It was part of a 2nd Corps officer's grouping. For...

Hi Karl,

Thanks for your post. It’s great to have you aboard. We all look forward to seeing your granddad's items and learning more about him. And if you are in contact with him please also send...

Hi Rita, and welcome to the forum. Our resident archivist Andrzej will hopefully be able to dig into his reference sources for some details about your father.



That about sums up the story of...

Andrzej, thanks for devoting the time to find and post these photos for us cool militaria. The third photo down of St. Strzelec Jozef Cichy shows some interesting deviations from the norm with...

Do I understand correctly that the award list is now being made available for purchase?

Hi Andrzej, no need to apologize as it is understood that you are bound by copyright law not to disclose the list. But I do sympathize with Boguslaw’s frustration at the snail’s pace that the PISM...

Hi Ted, I've moved your question over to this existing thread rather than having another parallel thread started. Crosses numbered up over 49000 were not awarded and held as surplus in the Polish...

Hi Andrzej, thanks for sharing your collection. It's surprising that cross 84637 was released rather than ending up on the scrapheap. A very interesting cross to see. I wonder if the accompanying...

You're most welcome Kosa. From my experience the postal service within Poland is safe and efficient, so having this cross originally stolen in transit was quite unusual. While the original culprit...

Kosa, I echo Andrzej, congratulations. Perseverance pays off. And I can't help but agree that the mis-listing of the cross on the numizmatyka site is suspicious. Main thing though is the cross is...
