Notes: (1) Please adjust the brightness and
contrast on your monitor for the best colour.
(2) The
links below contain only the major Polish medals. Many others, such
as medals
of Veteran's Associations are not all included.
(3)
The illustrations and information on the following pages
are intended as reference for
collectors of Polish Medals and Militaria. Communist Polish items
(PRL) are included
for the purposes of identification and comparison only. The inclusion of
PRL material in
some of these pages is in NO way an endorsement of a brutal regime which
was
responsible for enslaving the people of Poland between 1939 and 1989.
