Polish Order for Veterans
This is supposed to be an order set for surviving war veterans that was issued in Poland in about 2000 in a quantity of about 50 pieces. It consists of one order for neck, the other one for chest wear The quality is not up to the standards of the old Polish mint. It might have been awarded by a veteran's organization.
I assume it was issued in commemoration of the defeat of the Soviet army on 15-16 August 1920 near Warsaw by Pilsudsky and given to the few fighters who had participated in that conflict and were still alive in 2000. Does anybody have any information about this order set? I hope this inquiry is acceptable in spite of the possible violation of the time limit defined for this forum.

I've searched my referrence books and online Polish databases and can not find your Order. I've checked the ribbon charts for Poland, including Veteran organizations, and it does not appear on any of them. I'll ask Doc Wes or maybe Lukasz will know.

I am no expert, but I have not heard of this award (and when an award with Piłsudski is instituted it is impossible not to know about it in Poland), but noone makes fantasy pieces in PL, so probably it's something unofficial - there are hundreds of veteran organisations, most of them rival toward each other, so possibly it's their work.
I'll try to look on the net and ask in the local medal museum, they should know. |

It is interesting that when I check for "Poland veteran order" on google, this thread shows up in the first position. So, the question is listed for the world to see. But where is the person that has the answer?
