History / Identify medal from Austrian area of Poland [36]

The shape of the cross appears to be the same, but the picture is way too small to tell. Also the ribbon is a little out fo the ordinary for Krzyz Walecznych.

the ribbon is not though.. it reminds me of brit medals but PL has had a red x on a white background in it's history too.

Just click on it and save. Then enlarge it.

becomes pixalated all to hell.

the uniform definitely looks pre ww2 but i am not all that militarily geeked out. :)

To add.
Just put the name in your search box and select images

that's not it, is it?.. it's not virtuti militari either.

Life / Dogs and taxes in Poland - who is responsible? [7]

dog laws are on a county level but cities and towns may have their own ordinances beyond the county. i'm not sure what a license cost here; not many peeps do. $2-3 would be my guess. for agressive dogs one has to have a permit and possibly a bond (insurance.) there is a leash law in effect here, 6ft but nothing about muzzles which surprises me greatly. pits are legal and not all fall under the category of a dangerous dog. the local pit lobby has been working hard with good success.

vaccines are mandatory - rabies only. we have a 3 year shot here so if your pet has one of those then they have to just go back every 3 otherwise it's every year. none of our laws are strict or enforced so, for the most part, i haven't bothered with many of these tasks.

Travel / Pets on a plane to Poland? [16]

call LOT and find out. on US carriers it's really not problem. you have to have an approved pet carrier and you may want to talk to the doc about some dizzy pills for the animals. there may also be an issue of vaccinations etc.. again, best to call the airline.

History / Identify medal from Austrian area of Poland [36]

face to face view of the emperor

are you sure?? i can't tell what that is at all from that pic.. it looks like a shadow but can't ID beyond that.

i'd say your best bet would be some military history freaks forum. someone out there will know.

how do you know it's for Galicia? maybe that's "blinding" your search?

also, what's on the reverse side?

the color wheather yellow or white are purely guesses that's why i asked. it could also baby blue or some other color that is badly faded. the ribbons seem to be the best clues from my experience.
