This would make a very interesting new thread subject cool militaria

An interesting badge design. I wonder if it was produced as a design prototype, one of several design proposals for a badge that never made it into production?

Was the gear wheel design motif ever...

Maltese cross could also be associated with nursing such as the Knights of Malta Hospital in Warsaw and others.

Patriotic jewellery usually has Polish eagle emblem or Black Madonna icons.

Where are the photos of the reverse to show spinners, thread posts, and badge construction?

A pretty fair price given the scarcity of this badge. Picchiani & Barlacchi made some of the finest Polish insignia IMO.

...and very nice it is too :)

The Syrena looks like some of the pre-war Warsaw mermaid style pins I have seen in the past.

I assume it was "field" made to emulate the blue 2PolCorps...

Hi Tony, for the 4PP badges allocated in 1947 the numbering system reverted back to 1 and went up to 126 and I don't believe these badges were stamped with a number. But I am not 100% sure of...

I think it might have been the badges issued in 1947 as the number list is repeated in the regimental awards listing. I believe the second awards batch might have been for those enlisted after...

Hi Chris,

I am not sure how many recipients were actually awarded the badge number allocated in the original 4PP typescript of names and award numbers...I say this because I have a complete set of...

I don't think has ever been a definitive identification list of the badges designed or produced by Białkiewicz. I have seen this 2WAD signals battalion collar badge before but do not know if it was...

Very nice family group :) Thank you for sharing cool militaria

I think the second pattern matched more closely the scorpion on the breast badge so maybe a design standardisation?

I agree re the polishing and no evidence of enamel wear. Good point about a different stamping die! Or maybe a badly worn die at the end of its production life?

I have tried to visually replicate...

It is a very unusual form of the Warsaw "Syrenka". Is there a makers mark anywhere on it? The style IMHO is very 1930's.

However the earliest Warsaw siren of 1695 was an even stranger looking...

Congrats on your purchasecool militaria but I personally would keep the jacket as is because surely it is part of the history of this vet's life? I am sure that many soldiers went through several or...

From post: #878 I wonder who produced these miniature "armoured fist" badges??

I know Collins produced a black enamel miniature armour gauntlet arm with sword but id did not have the...

Tony, thanks for posting. It is nice to see a rare stamped prefinished badge. Who was the designer & jeweller?

It looks like Artur was awarded and is wearing Virtuti Militari?
