I have a question and would be very glad if someone could help me out. As you've allready mentioned this cross was awarded also to foreigners who fought in Poland partisan units and also to polish partisans who fought in Yugoslavia. I'm curious how many yugoslav partisans got awarded with this cross and how many polish partisans who fought in Yugoslavia got awarded with it? Does anyone has these information?
Since I'm collecting Yugoslavia partisan decorations I'd be more than happy to add this piece in my collection. Can you tell me aproximate price of this order?
Can you post some more pictures about the differences between earlier and later variation? In better quality please. How to spot one from the other most easily?
Thank you very much!

There were some entirely polish squads in Yugoslav partisan movements, altough I don't remember the exact numbers (had it in one book that I have been unable to find lately).
As for the partisan cross given to Foreigners - Tito got his in 1946, so I think some of the more important yugoslav partisans as well as those, who had the Polish under their command could have received it. But I would guess that less than ten were given to Yugoslav commanders, esp. that Tito and Yugoslavia soon became "incorrect" for a few years.
