Silver hat eagle

[vo100]

I need some info on this . Who's the manufacturer? What historical period does it belong to, etc?
Is it silver.In the shield we can clearly see the figure 1. Unfortunately the eagle's wing is broken.

Thans a lot in advance!

Welcome to the forum. This appears to be a pre-Polish 2nd Republic (pre-1919) eagle, quite possibly Legion era, 1914-18. These were not typically produced in silver, although rare exceptions are known to have been made. I suspect this one is high nickel content alloy (alpaca). I'll try to get more info via another channel and get back to you.

Regards,
Tony

Dear Tony,

I brought the item to the jeweler and got the confirmation that the hat badge is silver. I hope that this info will add in the identification of the item.
Thanks in advanceb for your replies!
