add Your note 
Lot description
Reference: Sawicki str.324

The train was built on November 26, 1918 at the Main Railway Workshops in Lviv and initially named "Lvivian". However, this name was not accepted by the crew, who after a few days began to call it "Pepetrojka" - after the number of Armored Train No. 3 (P.P. 3). On April 5, 1919, by order of the Minister of Military Affairs, the train was renamed "Lieutenant Colonel Lis-Kula" - in memory of Lt. Col. Leopold Lis-Kula, who had fallen on the field of glory.

The train's crew took part in battles during the Polish-Ukrainian war, including the defense of Lviv, and later participated in clashes during the Polish-Bolshevik war. On August 12, 1921, the train was diverted to Krakow, where it was decommissioned in the 1st Railway Regiment.

Extremely rare badge, one-piece, minted with counterfoil.

Dimensions: 53 x 38 mm.

Cap made of 2 kopiejka 1870 coin, well matched to the post.

Diameter: 24 mm.
