Default bullion POLAND title

Can anyone confirm on what uniform this small Polish cloth shoulder title would have been worn? Also period of wear if known.
Silver embroidered on scarlet. Have placed together with an RA title purely for size comparison.

Thanks, Didier.
I'm sure mine is authentic. I don't know if it had a woven edging as in your scan or not, but variations in insignia are the order of the day in our hobby

The story of the bullion Polish insignia been only for officers is not true this is a myth that has grown up bullion was worn across the ranks , these became popular whilst serving In Italy and was a throw back to pre war regular Polish Army , nice badge you have .
