History / Polish weapons and militaria - got any? [153]

If you're fighting the war....my total respect!

Respect from me to!

No idea? Nobody still alive to ask :-(
The Polish-Soviet war is still little appreciated

Thats to bad but theres a really high chance that someone did.The Polish-sovet war is indeed very little appreciated scince it could of saved Europe from Communism.Thanks for sending the medals Henry!

I havn't seen this medal before? What is on the other side of it and do you know what year was it awarded?

It was awarded in 1938 to Polish soldiers for 20 years of service.On the back it says ZA D£UGOLETNIA S£UZBĘ

I dont have the ribbon because the attaching ring was not there when i recived it from my grandfather.

Yeah i think your bayonet is the kar 98.
The fist picture scares me and reminds me of a story where germans killed kids for blood to give to there wounded officers and after just threw the kids in a pit =[

Looks like a polish 1911 mauser bayonet. Likely it has never been used and only dropped once.

Lol your a big asshole the Poles did not use 1911 mauser bayonets
