Hello im the happy owner of the badge in question and I was just wondering what the that spot is?
Fellows,
Finally, after a few years of search - I have located quality pictures of what - I believe to be one of the rarest - Polish "Collars" Badges (actually they had been fixed with the main arm insignias / ranks - not on collars as such, but i am just simplifying -for the purpose of the post).
3 Tank Regiment - was stationed in Scotland - was very small and restructured during the war many times with members being directed to join various other regiments of 1 Armoured Division (changing the insignia etc). Interestingly, 3rd TR, also had a sizable nr of Volunteers from Argentina.
The "3" had been featured only on a few pictures published in the monograph of the 3rd TR by Wronski.
Sorry - Given the rarity, I have edited the pictures to make the work of counterfeiters more difficult.
At the very beginning of its existence also 1st Tank Regiment had "1s" too - but the usage of them stopped sometime in 42 (judging form the pictures I know)
Perhaps some of You has "1s"?
Haven't really mounted these up but I thought I would share them with the troops.

Two recent ebay listings of wartime school badges. Examples of these rarely seen badges are pictured earlier in this thread and likely elsewhere, but these results from the past week are worth posting. Despite the general softening of the market over the past several years the blue chip pieces always garner a lot of interest and some heavy bidding, and these two beauties were no exception.

We follow up the two outstanding badges in the prior post with the humble 2nd Corps Commemorative. But this particular badge has one thing in common with those two titans: scarcity. This is an un-numbered version of the full size badge produced by the official producer, Societa Italiana per l'Arte della Medaglia of Rome. It is the first and only non-serial numbered example from this maker that I have encountered to date.

badge that we have as an original steel fist or znac pancerny. It has been in my partners cupboard for about
forty years and was left by her mother. for anyone interested we put it on e bay yesterday. Once again I
apologise if I have posted in the wrong place but there may be interested people wishing to acquire one.
Hello harlanduk,
Please post a picture front and back along with whatever your partner may recall about it's past history. I suspect her mother was married to a Polish WW2 veteran?

Tony
