Hi Tony, If you have seen the badge yet do you believe it to be a realistic starting price? My partner thinks she may be able to do the pictures.
Here are the pictures taken from Harlanduk's listing
Cracked and replacement spinner or perhaps field made? I'll let others comment on the price GB£300
It is here Military badge WW2 Poland | eBay
Thanks for doing the pictures James. Much obliged.
As James has suggested, the badge appears to be a field made version. These were popular in the 1st Armoured Division. They are also the most commonly seen type. Unfortunately, its a ripe area for counterfeiting. Crudely made copies and out right fakes are passed off as such "warsztatowki". So it's always a risky purchase in the absence of good provenance.
I am not suggesting yours is a fake, but just stating the plain reality that exists for collectors.
I'll answer by posting the closing price of one that sold last autumn. This badge was found inside an old tobacco tin along with other 'related' Polish military items which did support the badge's authenticity, if the seller's story was to be believed.
Regards,
Tony
PS several examples of the Polish Armoured Corps "Znak Pancerny" are posted earlier in this thread.

Thanks for the above post Tony.It looks as if we may have over valued it. At least we now know were we stand.
Where are the photos of the reverse to show spinners, thread posts, and badge construction?
Hi Mattias,
The pre-WW2 regimental badges in order of posting are the 6th Uhlans, 6th Mounted Rifles, 37th Infantry and lastly the 18th Uhlans. Unfortunately all are modern copies.
Regards,
Tony
