A very informative thread gents,
In the labyrinthe of this hobby there is always another tunnel to follow
I haven't managed to read all of the near 100 pages yet but have already learned 100% more than I knew about these badges.
Whilst serving in Berlin I was in the habit of adding Warsaw Pact items to my collection (a "know your enemy" sort of thing
) and whilst doing so picked up the eagle pictured below. Not being a communist item it sort of fell into the odds and ends box and to be truthful I have always doubted the originality of it given that Polish militaria is so widely faked. In fact there are
enough red flags to have me pretty much convinced although I never got round to getting rid of it.
This thread made me pause for thought and I wonder if anyone here can confirm my suspicions and tell me anything about it. For example what type it is meant to be, if it is from a known source etc?
Sorry about the poor pictures, I took them in a hurry and can do much better if required.
Regards
Mark
PS How do I stop my pics landing in the middle of my text?
