Hi Gary,
Thanks for your quick reply.
Could you please also express your feelings on the badge value ?
What would the fair price for it be ?
Thanks

Normally "we" tend to steer clear of trying to value badges here, for the simple reason that the market trends can be in some circumstances way up on expected.
... However, the last "e-bayed" 14th .. was pushing the £200 + GBP mark, and that was some months back ..

agreeing with Gary
as to approx value..
any badges of the 1st armrd div at the 200 pound level seem like a pretty decent price to pay.......

Further to Tony's post from page 21 and my post form page 51 of this forum - regarding the badge of 15 Lancers of 2 Corp
I have just spotted an interesting difference between 2 badges
Look at the pictures and specifically the Polish Flag in the Top Left corner of both badges - White and Red Colours of Polish Flag are "upside down" on the badge from my post (documents in the background)
Interesting detail - looks like the Egyptian manufacturer made a mistake on one of the badges.

Finally I had some time to take pictures.
Very interesting statistics re 3 DSK – information sourced form 3DSk – monumental book (2 volumes by mr Mlotek and Co)
I find those statistics very usefully when it comes to “ranking” regimental badges of regiments within the 3 DSK on relative basis
Hope You will find them useful
Dear members.
After much searching online for information about the Polish part of my collection that I inherited from my grandfather
(medal collector before and after WW2), I found this great forum which I hope can help me understand my Polish items.
I never believed these badge was so exciting until I read these pages. Are they real or old replicate?
Greetings

Thanks Orkan.
I belive that the bolts on the back was cut away for about 35-40
years ago when they were hung up. how can one know for sure what
is orginalt and what is copy? And are copies of any value?

Martin
Unfortunately I think that those badges are fake. Probably all of them was made by graver Andrzej Panasiuk. He makes them to this day - look on the link to his site.

There is no simple way to identify a copy. Older collectors are based on huge knowledge. Nowadays there are copies, that we can recognize only under a microscope. This also includes the legitimacy of the badges. They are printing on old paper in great quality.
Most of the officers' badges on the back should have number - but those numbers are also made by counterfeiters.
Polish pre WWII gravers where very good craftsmen, and them products were perfect with very nice details - it is the first thing you need to pay attention.
