Stalingrad medal, CSM medal, GPW1 1985 medal, Wound badge for 9 wounds(!), Polish medal to the former Soviet Army Soldiers (he had all the classes, but only 2 are present), Ribon bar inclouding: Polonia... Officers Cross, Virtuti Militari Officer's Cross and Two Meritous on the field of Glory 2nd class - 21 awards total (plus some not inclouded in the bar). I would do anything to save that group, but i can only assume that it will go for total of around 4000PLN - around 1000euro. And it will definately not end up in one person's collection. Alas, right now I can spend only around 300-400PLN and I am
ready to spend it, but if anyone can help and find enough money to but the whole lot it would be great. But since I am aware hardly anyone can get that amount of money at once, maybe we can start a money raise? And the group could go to the one who offered the most?
Anyway, the time is short and if you are interested, I can provide any help with contacting the seller and covering shipment costs.
This is no Fraud, I just can't watch that crime being commited:mad:
I may be interested, depending on the VM..I'm looking for a 5'th class issued by the London Government in Exile, made by Spink Jewellers, around 1944-46. I would keep the group intact, then donate it to a Polish museum through the Polish Consulate in Toronto.
Let me know.
