Here is a good reference book by WOJCIECH STELA
While this book is principally in Polish the descriptions are also in English and German. It is 254 pages long, hundreds of black and white photographs, sadly no color photos of badges. It also has listings of manufacturers ( gravurs) and tons of paperwork, ( legitymacja) The original photos of the early military units are fascinating on thee own. Anyone interested in collecting the early 20th century would enjoy having this reference book. It includes appendixes that list units, recipients of orders, etc.
