    Please let’s continue posting pictures and information about the Polish Badges. I am really grateful for to all of You who have contributed so far.

    • A beautiful badge made in Germany in 1945 – numbers at the back

    • A few years ago the widow after the RIP colonel who was the president of the 9 Flandryjski Association sold c40 remaining / end of the issue badges with numbers 1000+ – it is still possible to purchase a badge from this lot from time to time on the internet

    Honestly, i am not sure about this one
    Usually this type of eagle has great finish of details and edges specifically.

    It is excellent that we are seeing the international dimension on this forum – Thanks for the post on the Estonian Capitan – fascinating story
    On some other topic - I hope You could help me?
    Year ago – I bought a lot of Polish badges and medals after an old-cavalry soldier together with the badge that I have not yet really researched. I have been told it is from Baltic Countries.
    Can You help with the identification / valuation etc
    I am very curious about this one,
    A

    The unknown captain is Nikolai Masing (1892-1953). One interesting fact is that during the 1924 Estonian coup d'état attempt he was the driver in the armored car which helped to defeat the communist rebels. He was released from the army in 14.12.1935, because he was a member of the Vaps Movement. In the reserv army his rank was lowered from captain to private in 28.07.1936.

    3DSK – manufactured by Lorioli (many types: silver 800, Alpaga, White Metal)
    Here they are . . .

    Top left: silver – marked “.800”

    Top right: alpacca / white metal (copper-nickel-zinc alloy) – marked “ALP”

    Bottom: plated zinc-alloy “pot metal”. Unmarked. Possibly unique make up for a Lorioli badge exhibiting typical characteristics where the base metal corrosive alloy composition results in the flaking off of the decorative plating.

    Also posted is a seldom seen ‘deluxe’ cased version which houses an .800 silver badge
