Hey Pierre, Sorry to break the bad news but your badge is a replica make by A.Panasiuk in Warsaw.
As a copy worth around $50 or a bit less
Still a nice badge to have, Alot were bought by vetrans as replacements
Thank ! i appreciate your help !
Hello Pierre,
3MK is correct. Unfortunately this is a copy of the 34th Infantry Regiment by the most prolific maker of Polish military badge replicas – Andrzej Panasiuk of Warsaw, Poland. More info on him here:
Study of Artistic Engraving Andrzej Panasiuk, Warszawa,¦wiêtojañska St 4/6
Yes, those are dates on the two arms that are important to the history of the formation of this regiment.
Attached below is a genuine example of one of the versions produced. The other has a Virtuti Militari cross applied onto the upper cross arm. There were more than one official maker of this badge.
For market value reference, the results of an auction for a genuine example that sold mid last year.
Regards,
Tony
