And here's a gold-gilt VM3 from the late 1940s/early 1950s. It is very similar to the solid-gold one above, but there are subtle differences. Among them:
Averse:
1. Notice the oval connecting two wreaths on the bottom. One is Oval, the other is nearly a vertical line
2. shape of "diamond" separating two wreaths on top.
3. shape of claws
4. thickness, shape of lettering esp. "L" and "R"
Reverse:
1. shape of "oval" connecting two wreaths on the bottom. One is oval, the other is nearly a vertical line
2. shape of "diamond" separating two wreaths on top.
3. design of letter "I" in Honor I Ojczyzna
Sorry, don't have better resolution.
