Hello Marcin and welcome to the forum. It’s great to have another enthusiastic collector aboard. If at all possible please do try to keep your posts in English as one of the objectives of this forum is to cater to the non-Polish speaking militaria collector.
You are asking about how to verify the authenticity of your 1st AA Regiment badge purchased from the Antykwariat Numizmatyczny site. First off, the seller has a good reputation and does provide a guarantee of authenticity, so that’s a good starting point. Despite your concern after seeing the badge discussed here I don’t recall its authenticity being thrown into doubt. Aside from this you’ll need to seek out known genuine examples in other collections, museums and reference literature.
I’ve posted pictures of it below for further comments from our members.
Regards,
Tony

Dziękuje. Wyda się to zapewne dziwne ale nie posługuje się dobrz j. angielskim. Zostane więc przy polskim co nie ułatwi komunikacji. Mam oferte zakupu Znaku Spadochronowego, nr 4562, nienadany. Jaka kwota jest realna przy zakupie tej odznaki? Nie ukrywam, że zależy mi na niej. Nie mam fotografii.
A propos, co sądzicie o tych baonówkach?
Hi again Marcin,
If you cannot speak English then we’ll translate your questions as we go. Replies will be in English though!
You are asking about 1SBS badge 4562 and what current market value would be. As you know, one of the more widely faked badges, so caution is the word before putting down your cash. Two recent ebay results posted below.
The two 6th Lwow Rifles Brigade collar badges look good to me.
Regards,
Tony

Just to keep up with the latest developments and for the record on the Forum.
The badge of 9 Malopolski Lancers (part of 4 Infantry Division and before, for a short period, of 16 Independent Armoured Brigade) – recently sold on the Ebay UK as a component of bigger set.
Very interesting badge by K&S. WW2 badge has the same pattern and design as the pre-war one.
9th Lancers - regiment with distinguished records dating back to 1918.
During WW2 , regiment was re-established initially in France then evacuated to England (subsequently, permanent base in Scotland) and finally after a few re-organisations ended up early in 1945 ready to fight. Fortunately the war ended and the regiment was not actually posted into the war zone.
A small booklet, I have, that is dedicated to 4 Inf Divisions states that there had been ~ 40 officers and ~800 other ranks
Perhaps somebody has pictures of an ID?
Picture provided to me from a Friend in Krakow last night to add to the debate on 9U
Very interesting document (pre- ID)
And Quality Pictures too from my Friend
