Hi Guys

I just came across this officers SD tunic, it has recieved some bids and already is close to the $300 USD mark.

Orig WWII Polish Armored Officers Tunic w Ribbons and Insignia | eBay

I think it is a very well made put together tunic.
Firstly the ribbons are post war, the VM ribbons looks like one of those PRL 1970's ones, the Polish Army Medal ribbon is a London 1970's one. I don't like the second award bar on the Cross of Valour at all.
Second, it is supposed to be a English made tunic however it has pre-war buttons, should have London made buttons.
The Poland titles look like those well made copies on ebay from 6thjune insignia.
Third, I was always led to believe all troops in 1st Armoured Division exept General Maczek had pennants on their collars, this sports standard collar tabs.

If anyone on the forum is bidding on it please take this information into account.

Hi Nick, I have added the pics to your post as e bay links die over time.

I cannot comment on the ribbons. But the buttons look just like my English made examples? We need to see the backs of these to confirm.

The lack of a name to the label is also a concern.

Cheers, Ade.

It is but it's not a fake. I am of an opinion that it is a veteran's tunic. That's why it's well made.

Best,

Hello,
I arrived too late... I just learnt the link :

A very complete named grouping...

Hi ZP, let’s get the pics posted here before the Allegro auction link dies. A promising looking BD grouping, and quite complete. Although the item description says “badge unfortunately missing”, yet it is pictured with the award document. The BD is one of the very few I’ve seen with the Bevo weave 1st Armoured Div. sleeve flash.

Regards,

Great grouping!
But would be sad if the seller means the badge, that is missing from the picture with award document..
Perhaps he lost the badge trough the years or he selled the badge seperately.. but this would mean that he break the grouping into pieces an that is always sad...
Just my two cents of course.

Still a fantastic grouping!!

Jump wings and collar pennons on eBay.

WW2? Polish INDEPENDANT PARACHUTE BRIGADE Fighter BADGE - RARE !!! | eBay
Original WW2 Polish Poland Paraschute cloth collar patches 1 SBS | eBay


The wings are from a seller that sells quite a lot of fakes but are these anywhere near the real thing.

The collar patches are said to be original in the title of the auction but in the text the seller says he has no idea. What is the verdict on both items

Many thanks

Thanks Sunday. I thought they probably were. Both look as though they are going to make some good money on eBay
