          I would not buy this cross because the suspension ring is wrong. The actual cross has a designed suspension ring that is supposed to simulate barbed wire.

          I think this is a Polish made copy.

            Another thing wrong with it is that on the back in the top arm of the cross it's should be writen "PRL" not "RP".

              The first issues had the RPL, while Poland was under the heavy arm of the communists. After Polish liberation from communism, the medals were issued with the RP. Either can be correct, but the pictured cross is a Polish copy, frequently sold on ebay. The correct cross has a much nicer finish of darkened silver plate on brass and the roughness displayed on the copy is not on the original.

                Bob is correct. Posted here cross is a copy IMO. Please take a look in to these pictures and you will see why.
                Ps. I'm not owner of these pictures so if the real owner would like to have them removed, please let me know.

                    P.S. Not very surprising for me..The Flea Market was pretty close to the polish Border..
