Nice badges and breast star.

Two of my personal favorites - the Higher Miltary School "Sztab Generalny" (General Staff) badge. Only two makers that I am aware of - Adam Nagalski and Wiktor Gontarczyk. Both measuring 45 x 40mm. Both in white metal. Still looking for a silver hallmarked one . . .

Regards,
T.

NIce

Wish I had at least one of them

Nice one Simon! I love the Podhale regiment badges.

Here's my 1st Legion Infantry Regiment. Officer grade in hallmarked silver.

Nice badges Ivan! I've always been intrigued by the design work of this 2nd Legions Infantry badge, and how it came about to be officially accepted. It’s quite a departure from the first issue (pictured below). Very unique, and very rare badge.
