Hello Tony
All wz.24 that I saw (including my own) didn't have the hook. Please look also on the seams in original belts. In belt from ebay seamps are completely different than in polish belts.
Photo with marshal Śmigły is from Katowice. Presents a speech after the field mass to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the III Silesian Uprising.
Orkan,
Thanks for the observation. Well, all that glitters is not gold...the irregular stamping made me suspect along with its excellent condition. Sadly, the source of the this piece had sold me some excellent items previously so I placed a great deal of trust in that person. Whether he knowingly sold me a altered piece...well, that's for him and his conscience to resolve.

Hi again Orkan,
First off, thanks for the additional information on the Rydz-Śmigły’ photo. Now if only to identify some of the others on the stage . . .
Re the belt, posted below, again from the Henryk Wielecki book “Polski Mundur Wojskowy 1918-1939” is the wz.24 officer’s belt. A hook is clearly shown in this illustration.
I’ll try to dig through some photos from the period to see if I can find any photographic evidence.
Regards,
Tony

Hello,
Here are the photo of the Polish officer's estate sale (as the seller put on his listing).
I would be extremely interested in your opinions.

It's not genuine in 100%
Best Regards
Collecting has been going a little slow for me, & I havent posted on the forum in a long time
My thoughts about this grouping is that its a put together. The wz.35 rogatywka has wz.19 side buttons ( I may be wrong :P )
The tunic appears to have relic buttons, including some greatcoat buttons which were not used on tunis (They`re bigger then tunic buttons)
I doubt the badge is original, the quality isnt what I would expect to find on a genuine pre-war badge.
I also think the breeches are made by a private tailor and not military issue.
Hope I helped
Just wanted to share the following pictures with all of you. These were taken last year in the City of Kolobrzeg, museum of Polish Army. Hope you will enjoy these photos as much as I do.
Regards,
Pawel.
Hello Pawel,
Many thanks for sharing the fascinating pictures
It would be great to see the description tags for each of these uniforms on display. Do you have pictures of them?
Regards and thanks again,
Tony
