Hello Marc .. and Welcome

Gary buddy!!!!
Yes it's me. It has been ages since we met and talked.
I haven't been doing a lot on my polish collection for a very long time.

I just bought a few (cheap) polish badges on a local show here in Belgium, so....the virus is back.

I try to post some more if I have time.

Cheers,
Marc

Great badge - impresive find!

According the book Polscy Spadochroniarze “pamietnik zolnierzy” printed in 1949 –
• only 48 badges had been given to the British • 238 to French
• 172 to Norwegians
• 4 to Belgians
• 4 Dutch
• 2 Czechs
• 2 Americans
• 5551 Polish

Gary have You got this book?
I have one – in hard cover? – but not sure if there was one in soft cover?

Wadowicznic,
Yes, I managed to get hold of a copy with the original dust jacket about 8 years ago ..
I believe it is quite a difficult book to find now.
I don't think it was ever published in soft cover, it was printed once (around 1948), and that was that !.

Here you go GFC ... it's a quick reply, as I'm late for an appointment and straight out the door !

The book came from Piotr Sulima's estate.

Hi guys,

This is really outside my expertise but I found a book published by the Sikorski Institute and their numbers differ slightly. Thought it might be interesting for you para collectors
