The drawings are from a folio of individual sheets depicting the uniforms of the 1st Polish Corps in Russia: "Album Mundurow 1go Polskiego Korpusu" which was published in 1918.

-Ebay
-Allegro (Only with people who accept paypal)
-Forums

Heres a intresting photo from the Legions,Im not sure if the badge was placed there only for the photo or if the soldier always wore it like that but still intresting

Here is an interesting photo that I found in my archives. It saved it for the photo of the Haller's Army eagle, but if you look beyond that you can see that this is a tunic from someone in the Engineer branch of service in Haller's Army (black collar tab with red piping). Unusual and rare.
