Polish Regimental Badges WW2

[JacekMed]

Yes, indeed, the Signals Officer School Badge is very, very rare. I have seen it only once on the market and it was another version than this presented by Tony - I have seen one part construction, which was partially lacquered. Unfortunatelly it is not in my possesion.

Badge of the Polish Armed Forces in the USSR. Designed by Antoni Boczulski, a soldier in a 3DSK signals company. Manufactured by G. Zechovoy of Tel-Aviv, bearing Nr. 1. Measures 60x31mm. Reportedly only a single copy ever issued, to the C.O. General Władysław Anders.

The image is of what is likely a copy of the original residing maybe in the PISM London.

The common 3DSK, although less common in .800 silver and still less common with serial number. Current internet auction listing.

Can anyone provide any more information on the serial numbered version - i.e. issued to a specific unit or officer corps?

The idea was to number badges in silver but at some point of time they gave it up. I've seen a 3DSK badge in silver with a higher number.

Thanks kosa. I recall only ever seeing one other numbered example, #00104:

I've seen award documents for 3DSK officers but none for a numbered badge. Mystery.

Although "rare" is a very overused adjective, the badge of the 2nd Grochowski Lancers Regiment certainly qualifies. Produced by Picchiani & Barlacchi, the regiment it represents has a hazy history as it never fully materializing within the 2nd Corps. Anyone that can add more information about this badge's existence is more than welcome.
