Description:
Set of Two Polish Patriotic Eagles – Rare Military & Veteran Items
This listing includes two original Polish patriotic eagle insignia items, each with its own unique background and historical value:
1. Veteran's Tie Clip with Eagle (Post-WWII or Later)
A beautifully detailed eagle based on the officer’s collar eagle pattern from the Polish Armed Forces.
Mounted on a metal tie bar marked "PLATINUS", this piece was likely custom-made as veteran jewelry after the war. The small eagle has raised feathers and a crowned head, reflecting traditional Polish military heraldry.
Estimated postwar production, private commission
Ideal as symbolic dress for ex-servicemen
Unique hybrid of militaria and personal wearable memorabilia
2. Polish Haller Army Eagle Badge – France (1917–1940)
This original badge was struck in France and sold between 1917 and 1940. It was worn by:
Soldiers of Haller’s Army (the Blue Army) during WWI
Later by members of the Polish Army in France (1939–1940)
It features a crowned eagle with highly stylized feathers and a horizontal pin fastening on the back. Rare and historically significant, especially for collectors of Polish military forces operating abroad.
Condition:
Both items are in used, vintage condition with visible patina and age-related wear. The tie clip mechanism and badge pin are intact and functional. Please refer to detailed photographs for an accurate view.
This pair is ideal for collectors of Polish military history, those interested in the Blue Army or WWI–WWII forces abroad, or for display with veteran keepsakes and symbolic memorabilia.
