Linasl Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Hello. I just bought this badge in Poland. I was told this is from the Estonian 1st Hussar Regiment, but the nut on reverse said it was made in Warsaw, Poland. Can you help identify this badge? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

Trooper_D Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) This page agrees that it is the badge of the 1st Hussar Regiment of Estonia, http://militaria19191938.org/2018/06/05/3-original-estonian-1920-era-military-badges-silver-estonian-1st-hussar-regimt/ The one shown on the page linked to was made in Estonia, though. Here is an Estonian Wikipedia page about the regiment which shows an illustration of the badge and if you Google "Ratsarügement" you will find lots more on the regiment and its badge.

AndresT Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) I'm not specialist, but i know they have made copies in Poland. This can be copy as well. It seems little bit weird to me... But as i mentioned earlier - i'm not the expert! Edited July 22, 2020 by AndresT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Although per se this is an estonian badge it was also issued (after May of 1928) to the officers of the 2nd Grochow Uhlan Regiment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2nd_Grochow_Uhlan_Regiment The original badge looks like this one.
