His ribbon bar (most likely the most complete list of his awards):
Awards on his ribbon bar (the one in my possesion, that is):
1st row: Wound badge (2 wounds).
2nd row:Polonia... Cavalier's cross, Gold Cross of Merit
3rd row:Partisan Cross, Something that seems to be "To the participants of historical operation 1978-1980" (no idea what that is, it came in 3 classes, other possibility is Greater Poland Upprising cross, but that's impossible)
4th row: Something that seems to be "To the participants of historical operation 1978-1980", Victory and freedom medal, For merits to the State Defense 2nd class
5th row: For merits to the State Defense 3rd class, In service to Nation, 1971 variant class unknown, In service to nation 1974 variant 2nd class
6th row: In service to nation 1974 variant class unknown, Cross of merit to ZHP, Polish red cross medal 1st class
7th row: Polish red cross medal 2nd class, Polish red cross medal 3rd class, For merits to LOK (Liga Ochrony Kraju, something close to soviet DOSAAF) 1st class
8th row:For merits to LOK 2nd class, for merits to LOK 3rd class, For merits to ORMO.
He was also awarded "Meritous to the health of the nation" honorary title, Blood Donor Badges, Millenium Badge, but those were sold with his uniforms.
On one of the photographs he seems to be wearing a Virtuti Militari Ribbon - it is a mystery. Obviously hy was never awarded VM by any of the Official Polish Governments. It is possible that it was another post-humous award to one of his relatives, but I have no info on that.
It's hard to find anything on the man. His ZBOWiD file is missing. His MO file is inaccessable plus I have seen it in the seller's possesion (:eek:sic!) tough was denied the purchese (so it's most likely missing to).
