Thank you wadowicznic. Yes I was excited to get the Scully. My first.
Of the Gaunts I think the one with the rather blurred Gaunt mark may be silver. I'm going to get a friend to investigate. The small 40mm has the look of a British officers silver plated cap badge so I'm guessing it is plated. The frosting is beautiful. Along side two other small eagles. One cast, I'm guessing Middle East, and the other, any idea of the manufacturer? It has blades top and bottom in the same style as Scully.
Many thanks
James
On the lookout for a metal PAF eagle to complete my representative collection. Happy to trade. Except for the Scully that is.

Fellows,
Although - it is not a Cap Eagle - i think, it is worth posting this material as it expands our knowledge re symbols / Eagles of Polish formations of ww2.
I have recently come across - this super rare ID of Holly Cross Brigade (HCB) of National Armed Forces. HCB was one of the military formations of National - Democratic Party of Poland pre 1939.
Clearly views re contribution / role of the HCB - are very polarised and much research still needs to be done to arrive at an objective conclusion, having said that, it is important t present this document and the Eagle it features.
Please post some additional NSZ / HCB Eagles - if you have any materials so we can expand on the subject!
Also - please notice the service of history of its recipient.
