Sergei Kowalski's Medal.
Being of Polish origin, and having a family which has a military heritage going way back to the early 1800s, I'm curious as to the cross-shaped medal that Franco Nero wears on his leather waistcoat, and then towards the end of the film around his neck.
Can anyone identify it? I've tried scanning screenshots and enlarging them, but there isn't enough detail to identify it. I don't belive it can be a World War I campaign medal, since the film is set before/during that period in history, and it's unlikely that Kowalski would have fought in that war. More likely it may have been a campaign medal from one of the numerous wars Poland fought against the Bolsheviks prior to WWI.
Either that, or it's just a meaningless prop, but it would be nice to see the detail on that medal. Any ideas?
