danne1345 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Hello! Does anyone know anything about these Eagles? Bought a lot and they came with! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashim.A.Khan Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Hey, the badges do seem like polish regimental badges, are there any markings on the rear side? Regards Hashim Edited October 16, 2016 by Hashim.A.Khan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 First is very similar to Imperial Germany but lacking the scroll on the crown, the Third is Prussia Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danne1345 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 The rear side is blank. I guess that all three are Polish, but are not sure. First one and last one have the screwback. The middle has "rings". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 The second might be polish but the other two most certainly are not Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilieff Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) I am almost certain the middle one is part of a chain/collar used by judges in Poland. In this case, the eagle hasn't got any crown, so it means it's from the communist era. See below a similar chain used today.

Hashim.A.Khan Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 The first and third seem more likely to be russian as the ord and spectre have historically been a part of russian coats of arms Hashim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytop Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Hi, the first eagle is from the German/Prussian Province Posen, see "Wappen": https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinz_Posen the third eagle is the Prussian eagle with FR for Fridericus Rex. The second eagle is from the Polish People's Republic. Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danne1345 Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Thanks for all the comments! I am impressed by the expertise! Polish eagle has great variety. As the picture. A question (Hashim.A.Khan): is not the Russian eagle "Double-headed"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashim.A.Khan Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I agree, the russian eagle has traditionally been double headed but the orb and spectre are two of the most prominent things seen in the russian coats of arms. These badges definitively have similarities with the russian badges though, however you do have a good point that i noticed myself Hashim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belaruski Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 May not apply to this one.. but Polish eagle without Crown is generally Communist era. The fact these all look of similar manufacture may (may!) indicate that they were made as a representation of Polish insignia across a time frame. Rather than issued items.
