Fellows,
V good pictures of PAF Eagle with rare fixing arrangements (horizontal blades).
Typically this variant is seen with Omegas

So what do you Fellows think about this helmet and the Eagle?

Simply put, no provenance = no purchase. This is my rule for all Adrian and Mk.II helmets bearing Polish insignia. The fakers have gotten very good at their craft.

Regards,
Tony

Fellows,
An upcoming desa auction in Krakow - features a very interesting Eagle. Variant we have discussed previously

Orze³ek wz. 39 - Aukcja 173 DESA

Description states - some very interesting "information"
Eagle - variant. 39- 54 x 35 mm. Made of brass, silver-plated. Reverse with counter. Mounted on a vertical safety pin.

The product of the French company Alavoine.
An eagle to be worn on the pocket by liaison officers. Very good condition

.

This variant is very rare.
However, I have to say that both - hypothesis, 1 and 2 above, are new to me!

Finally, I have managed to get quality pictures +context materials re the Eagle / Badge - of the 1st Corp of Gen Musnicki - formed in Russia during the WW1 to support the fight for Polish "State". This Eagle / its design is believed to inspire the family of WW2 Polish Exile Eagles - starting form French Aloviane in 1939.
