Re: Polish ribbon bars
An interesting and well-made ribbon bar:
1:Wound badge - 1 wound; 2:Polonia Restituta Cavalier's Cross, Cross of the Brave, Silver Cross of Merit; 3:Bronze "Meritous on the Field of Glory, For Oder, Nisse, Baltic Sea, Victory & Freedom; 4:For participation in the fights for Berlin, Victory over Germany (Soviet) 5:(not sure why last) Grunwald Cross 3rd class. Apparently the owner was soon de-mobilised after the WW2, so likely a non-officer, but well-decorated anyway. |

Re: Ribbon Bars
Interesting set in a style uncommon for Poland. They are mounted on two brass plates and have a mount of 2 small screws - so probably they belonged to an active servicemen - such attachment made it easy to replace the bars with the awards themselves.
We have: Silver Cross of Merit, Bronze "Meritous on the Field of Glory" medal, Silver "Armed Froces in service to the Motherland" medal; Bronze "Armed Froces in service to the Motherland" medal, Partisan Cross, Victory & Freedom medal, Victory over Germany (Soviet). No idea on owner's data, but he must have had a story to tell - partisan, later Polish Army soldier with some merits and then - professional officer. |

Re: Ribbon Bars
Very interesting! I have one that looks to be made in the same workshop. It's an interesting style and very meticulously made; also has the screw attachment on the back.
The recipient's awards look to be:
A well-decorated officer with an interesting story! Last edited by Pobeda45; 05-26-2016 at 11:45 AM. |

Re: Ribbon Bars
Seems to be the same manufacture indeed.
The Czechoslovak award would point towards a few units that fought in there for a short time. |

Re: Ribbon Bars
Thanks! Very interesting on the Czech service as well. Does the Cross of Merit make sense in the above set? I thought it was a Labor award, I guess it makes sense for a staff officer though. Really unusual style and coincidence that we both have one from this manufacturer.
Here's another Polish bar in the "Soviet" style, the recipient's awards look to be:
