pre-WW2 Polish Badge of 15th Poznań Lancers Regiment – Zygmaniak

Surrounding the eagle are four enameled Polish national flags (white and red), along with the date “27 XII 1918” – commemorating the outbreak of the victorious Greater Poland Uprising.

The reverse of the badge is smooth with a shortened threaded post. Original screwback marked “St. Zygmaniak Poznań.” Condition as in photographs.
