By the way, I used to know a few former 2nd Polish Corps servicemen who returned to Poland. None of them got the Grunwald Berlin badge but some of them were awarded Polish state decorations in the 80's after they joined ZBoWiD.

Not sure that would explain it because Stalin had already arrested and deported the official prewar Polish communist party officials so being a leftist would not IMO have meant this would put a former 2PolCorp soldier above suspicion of being an agent of Anders especially considering in 1947 the Polish communists had still not wrested total control of the country from the various Polish independentist factions which the communists accused of being supported by Anders from the West. It is a curiosity.
Mirrors my experience also.
Amazing price for post war set!

The original paint has been removed ... THEN the eagle has been applied .....
Not good. .... More than likely a modified re-enactor piece.

Gentlemen
Here is a nice Sapper badge for sale on Allegro. It looks good to me but is it?

Hi!
I am sure about one thing with this badge: there is new screw attached in place of the original element. Spinner looks to be ok.
Best Regards
Michal
