Badge 8 Pułk Ułanów ks.Józefa Poniatowskiego
Article about: Hi Darek, I didn't wanna mislead you as I wasn't sure if it was original or not. I have seen modern copies of this badge that were much more crude and of lesser quality than the one you post

Hello Tony!
I have in my collection also 100% original badges.
I greet
Darek
Could you tell us more about this badge. What do the small symbols represent on the background enamel? (3/horn and what appears to be a falcon holding a barbell, which reminds me of the 'Sokol' emblem).
Thanks.

Hi, dastier
You're right - on the left side of the emblem of the Gymnastic Society "Sokół",on the right side of the emblem three Polish Rifle Regiment in France.
I greet

So what is the significance of both? I'm guessing the 3rd Rifle Regiment in France refers to Poles enlisted/fighting on the Western Front in perhaps Haller's Blue Army. But what is the "Sokół" connection?

Hi, dastier!
Polish Gymnastic Society "Sokół", is associated with the national movement, and Polish history.

Thanks Darco. Do you have any links about the Sokół organization in Poland during the partitions or 2nd Republic? (information in English please as I don't speak or read Polish)
I posted a thread previously about some Sokół belt buckles that I have but know little about.

Hi,
I have to look for information about the Sokole and then send them.
I greet
