An interesting piece - Ribbon bar for the Gold Cross of Merit with Swords - an award instituted by the Polish Government in Exile. Interestingly, even tough this award was never accepted by the PRP's award system, since 1960s citizens awarded with it could go through a verification procedure and get the award officially accepted by the government. Yes, this means verification of something awarded by the government PRP's authorities (and not only them) considered illegal!
