Polish Commemorative badge from the Second Polish Republic period of the School of Armament. The Central School of Armourers was located in the Warsaw garrison. Together with the Central Gas School, it was classified as a central armament service facility of type III. The school commander had the disciplinary authority of a battalion commander over the personnel and attendees. The school conducted training courses for armourers in four specializations: gunsmithing, artillery, pyrotechnics, and storage management.
Two-piece, openwork badge. The base of the badge is a green enameled rhombus with a wz 27 crowned eagle resting its talons on the cannon barrel and the machine gun, with the initials SU (Szkoła Uzbrojenia – School of Armaments) visible underneath. .
The reverse is gilded with visible rivets attaching the eagle to the base of the badge. In the middle there is a threaded post for a nut. A repair to the badge is visible from the side, most likely during the era. Condition as in the photos.
