Белый лев крупно.
Во-первых, не понятно где он изготовлен. На плохую копию похож. Моё мнение французы изготовили, т.к. вручали уже после войны вдове.
Во-вторых, если за бои в Бельгии, почему пальмы, а не мечи?
В-третьих, причем тут Чехословакия вообще? То, что он награжден французским и бельгийским орденом логично, но чех-то причем?

Details: Awarded posthumously.
Received with gold palme.
Royal Decree No. 1921

Royal Decree No. 1921.
DISTINGUISHED SERVICE CROSS (DSC)
Rank: 1st Lieutenant
Unit: Battery A, 589th Field Artillery Battalion, 106th Infantry Division "Golden Lions" U.S. Army (Battery A, 589th Field Artillery Battalion, 106th Infantry Division "Golden Lions" U.S. Army)
Awarded on: January 30th, 1947
Action: For action performed on 17 December 1944, near Schönberg, Arrondissement of Verviers, Belgium.
Citation:
"For extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving as Executive Officer of Battery A, 589th Field Artillery Battalion, 106th Infantry Division, in action against enemy forces from 17 December 1944 to 22 January 1945, near Schonberg, Belgium. Lieutenant Wood's section, the rear element of the withdrawing battalion, was cut off and completely surrounded, his vehicle was destroyed by enemy tank fire, and hostile infantry covered the surrounding area with a hail of small-arms fire. Refusing to surrender, as enemy fire converged on him from all sides, he raced across a large open field into the woods beyond. Cut off from all possibility of returning to his own lines, far inside enemy territory in the Ardennes wilderness in the dead of winter, he rejected any temptation to surrender. Not content to maintain his liberty behind the enemy lines, on company with several other Americans in the area, he repeatedly initiated ambush attacks against enemy communications, supply columns, and patrols, accounting for the deaths of scores of the foe. Valiantly, Lieutenant Wood continued his offensive action until finally in a last fierce engagement with overwhelming forces he made the supreme sacrifice, where later his body was found surrounded by the bodies of seven of the enemy, mute testimony to the daring, the loyalty, and the intrepid gallantry of Lieutenant Wood in the service of his country. First Lieutenant Wood's intrepid actions, personal bravery and zealous devotion to duty at the cost of his life, exemplify the highest traditions of the military forces of the United States and reflect great credit upon himself, the 106th Infantry Division, and the United States Army."
Details: General Orders No. 14, War Department (January 30, 1947).
Awarded posthumously.

Роман,на OMSA бы сумели ответить.Причем здесь чехи?Союзники. Многие из них сражались и Dunqerke,в Франции и Бельгии вместе американцами и англичанами.Я bы не сказал,что плохая копия.Немного странная,но приватного производства.На кольце даже клеймо видно.Без документов можно только догадываться.Возможно был приближенным с Liškom или другими чехами из командования.Почему пальмы?Просто ошибка произошла.Мне лично по фото орден нравится-с левом по реверсу!

Думаю, что наградили его Крестом победным Белого льва. Но, так как посмертно, сам орден могли и не вручить вдове по разным причинам. А для стенда его наград американцы просто купили где-то орден Белого льва не особо разбираясь в том какой именно тип должен быть.

Я думаю это аверс такой. Интересно, что с другой стороны?
Орден мне тоже нравится! Лев качественно сделан. И необычный он. Просто со львом я уже перешел в разряд необычного.
Союзники говоришь? Югославы тоже союзниками были, и англичане, а наградили чехи.

Маловат он для креста, лейтенант всё таки. А кресты для полканов.
И как теперь выяснить?

Роман,Ed мне написал.У этого офицера был отец генерал-лейтенант.Возможно,произошел замен наград на стенде.Белый лев мог принадлежать отцу.

Eric Jr was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions.
He is also the recipient of the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, the Belgian Croix de Guerre and the Purple Heart Medal. Здесь Лев не написан.

очень похожа стилистика на орден Сербского Красного Креста производства Франции до 1939
