Dear fellow collectors, here I come again with a question regarding cap eagles of the Polish forces in the East. This time no Kuricas though, but rather an eagle I cannot identify and that seems to conform to the traditional pre-war Republic eagles designs.
Now here come the incriminated photos of Berling in which I found trace of this non-Kurica eagle being used at some point by the Polish I Corps/First Army. I could not find more info on the time when they were taken unfortunately.
Now here I've made some enlargements of the cap eagles. Not very good at all, but somewhat clearer. For example in the side cap photo I seem to clearly distinguish a shield in the lower part of the cap badge. Not sure at all whether there's a crown though.
And here instead I will probably anger some of you! I have made a quick search in my modest archive and online to identify eagles that (to me) kind of potentially look like that one worn by Berling. I have found them defined as British made WWII and pre-war Republic. So I know, this collage is probably a mess.
Hope this little quest for this (to me) unknown cap eagle will be of your interest!
