One more for today!
I think – a very interesting variant of 40mm Eagle – casted one and „without a small shield of Pilsudski’s Legionaries”.
We have featured some similar (but not identical ones) – previously on the forum.

Michal – thanks for posting this Cadets’ Eagle.
It is very interesting variant and rare too!
I need to upgrade my knowledge re Polish Cadets – teenagers and orphans attached to the Army following forced evacuation form CCCP - in Middle East and Italy during ww2 and get some a) statistic as to the nr and b) details as to the locations where they had been stationed.
If I remember correctly, Cadets had been educated in a few boy’s schools – mostly in Palestine. Some of them took part in Monte-Casino Battle. There had been a few girl’s schools too – but from pictures, looks like only boys had such Eagle.
Again, if my memory serves me well – the schools delivered c3000 graduates.
There are a few good books re Cadets’ – so, when I have some time – I will dig up some more info to go with the Eagle.
Fellows,
An interesting Eagle – I think.
Cast of the classic Palestinian 1941+ variant
Let’s try to continue with our collective work (that has been very efficient so far) aimed at “categorising / indentifying” some new variants on the basis of fining 2 identical specimens.
Perhaps we going to be lucky again?
Has any of You got a similar one and / or pictures?
