Yes, I found one in my collection.

I have this one in mine. It came with a lot of Polish items made in France. If you compare it with known WW2 French badges you will notice similarities (material used, clasp, etc). So I assume it is French made. The eagle has crown, therefore it is not connected 19/29 Polish Infantry Group which took communist insignia without crown. Therefore it could be some Polish resistance organization in France (different than POWN), maybe some guard company, but most likely non-military badge for Polish nationals in France.
Thanks Esco. I also have one of these also and suspect these to date back as far as WW2 period, based on seeing them included in more than a few period groupings. I assumed these to possibly be a patriotic piece, one of many such items made during WW2 for expatriate Polonia. If of French origin then of course quite likely early post war.

Fellows,
Sharing with you – what I think is a super interesting find!
Fellows,
Perhaps we are lucky to IT /”contextualise” this one!
I am not sure as to period – could be made in Germany? Purpose – patriotic pin / military badge?
I do not think it is included in the Bzezicki book.
However, I fogy remember seeing similar / same made by Lauer – but with the nut. This looks like pin like fastening.
Any thoughts?
And this one?
Fellows
Can the 2nd similar specimen be found?
Further to post #1493 and #1494:
