Band collars - what do you think?
eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
I can't comment on the metal badges but the cloth looks bad to me. Why would you stitch a collar on a khaki backing that will then go onto a khaki jacket?
Hello! Metal badge and cloth looks very bad to me. 100% sure not genuine
Best Regards

Hello,
I can't give an opinion, I don't know enough the polish paratroopers.
From the same seller :
*WW2 Original POLISH HELMET - 1st Armoured Division!- Eagle - Beautiful! | eBay
Best regards.

I saw that too. The liner looks very strange to me. I'm not a helmet guy but I'm sure that this type of liner wasn't used on combat helmets. IMO

As a brief follow up to Ivan's post, "40" in a black square looks to be a British standard in Divisional serial/identification colouring for "HQ" ..
.. Thus it follows that the Poles were conforming to British idents .. which makes fieldcraft sense ..

Wow guys that is really interesting - so do we think the dispatch rider's helmet offered for sale is a good one then? Eagle OK?

Para Collars
* WW2 Polish PARACHUTS COLLAR BADGES - set of 2 - Genuine !!! | eBay
Gentlemen
I don't like these collars - what do you think?
The do have the blades which I believe is correct but the detail on the men seems poor. No boots visible and I think the shroud beading isn't crisp enough. Am I correct?
Also this seller does seem to sell some good stuff but mixed in is some horrible stuff.
Many thanks for your help and opinions
James
Any thoughts on the parra collars from the same seller?
Many thanks
James

Would really need to see the collars in the flesh to make a clear judgement .. as it is not too clear if the photo's have been "photo shopped" (Note the grey on front and rear ).
