Thank you for showing Skorpion beret badge,
I really like it, very rear to see item like that.
I've been ploughing my way through this thread with some degree of interest, and I do believe I might be able to help you gentlemen with regards to further information on the Szkola Podchorazych Artylerii badge, or more particularly, on the second version that one of you refers to.
The second version of the badge is UK-manufactured, made in Birmingham in 1940 by Walker & Hall. It is distinctly more elaborate than the photos of the version posted on here; the oak and laurel wreath is broader and with more detail, while the grenade and its flame are enamelled in black & red respectively, the letters SPA worked in a curled font on the body of the grenade. Below the grenade is a shield enamelled in blue with 10 tiny symbols (M with a cross) for the Virgin Mary aranged in a 4, 3, 2, 1 array. Heraldically, this shield would be described as azure, ten symbols in pile or.
HTH
My few to add to the thread. Not too sure if the regiments are the right names, and I believe I may have mixed up a few of the screw plates! (I hope not)
Regards,
Pete
