Hello Tony,
that's right, PSZ eagles present a wide range of types and I am not surprised about another one pattern- wz.19. But, do you agree with me that this photo was taken in the end of war? If yes, this is interesting that soldier's pre-war eagle survived war turmoil.
Best regards,
Filip

From my own research and specimens – I conclude that there was a “very narrow application (small nr)” of larger “1919 pattern” in Polish Army in Exile, across the various geographies and times during 1939-45/47.
3 things are interesting re 1919 pattern in context of Exile Forces
1. looks like a very small nr of Eagles actually made (stamped) in Poland, made to France / Mid-east and UK – they almost not seen on period hats etc
2. to my knowledge - there are 2-3 patterns that had been re-made – using casting technique – they are well documented and multiple specimens are known. The rarest is, to my knowledge, – one with the vertical blade – exclusive version made in the UK (I think) – used in 1st Cor (very early) and WAAF like formation. I will try to dig out picture of it
3. a lot of 19ths come up on pictures of POW and Displaced People Camps in Germany – however – not sure if made in Poland or re-made in Germany.

It leads to a very interesting PAF Eagle - not yet featured on our forum. What is incredible interesting - it actually is marked by the "Producer". Unfortunately it is very hard to conclude the full text - except word "London"
We now have a new task - find an another one ot solve the puzzle ad ID this variant!
Anyone - some ideas /pictures etc?
Fellows,
I was thinking - recently - which the most relevant - "story telling" Eagle i have seen over years, is - and the conclusion is - this one!
Hope You like my choice!
It is a "patch" type one - featured on the uniform of Zofia Lesniowska (IPMS) - the daughter of Gen W Sikorski.
As far as i understand - it is one off specimen.
I have removed some features - to make the work of counterfeiters a bit harder - as i am sure, they will try!
Hello everyone,
A couple of fantasy eagles from the same seller vwg3811 located in Cracow / Kraków, Poland sold on Allegro yesterday.
Cheers,
Kosa
