WW2 Artisan Made Polish Army Eagle Badge

Made during WW2, this Polish Army eagle cap badge has been artisan made, possibly in Palestine, as a stop-gap insignia provided for the assembled Polish troops. It depicts the national emblem, which the soldiers wore alongside their British issue regimental badges.

Cast from lead, the eagle is of typical form retaining the original wire fastening and much of its thin wash of nickel plating. It appears to have never been worn. Rare to find in this near perfect condition.
