Here are my 2 badges for inspection. One is I Pulk and I don't know the other one.
Please help!

The badge of the 1 Galician Ulans Regiment, a Polish unit within the Austro-Hungarian army pre-dating Polish independence. The one with the blue crescent is mystery. My guess would be that it is a piece of patriotic jewelry.

Tony, thank you for a quick response.

You're most welcome.

While I'm at it, here's a stunning Michrowski made officer's 11th Field Artillery Badge that sold within the past two weeks (not to me ). Pre-war Polish artillery regiment badges are amongst the most beautiful, and most sought after. Hammer price 6952PLN.

Hello,

I would guess that your badge with the Light Blue Crescent (most probably made for wear when not in Uniform, for wearing on a suit lapel, or for a Girlfriend, Wife), would be from one of these Polish (Muslim) Tartar Regiments -

https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pu%C5%...zdy_Tatarskiej -

Formed in 1919, disbanded in 1920 (it shows the commanders (including Generał Brygady Aleksander Romanowicz), enlisted 1919 collar tabs (Since 1919, crimson patch, light blue tab. On the patch, emblem in the form of a crescent with an asterisk).

Regimental Pennant (Pennant aquamarine with a yellow crescent and a star. Lancers wore instead of rogatywek - sheepskin "papachy". The regiment had instead of the standard - buńczuk) and uniforms.

https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_Szwadron_Tatarski -

Formed in 1936, disbanded in 1939. after the September Campaign (it shows the officers photographs, including Rotmistrz (Captain of the Cavalry), later (1938) Major Aleksander Jeljaszewicz).

It is a very well crafted enamelled badge, most likely reasonably rare, in this condition.
