Rafal,
Just to clarify, I meant were any para badges produced in Poland prior to 1939 and the invasion?
Rereading Bragg & Turner 1st ed., courses started in 1937/37 with a jump school opened in 1939. One course of 80 completed training, but the second did not because of the start of the war.
If a para qual was created prior to 1939, how does one tell the difference between it and the ones produced in England during the war?
Attached are the Polish para quals and badges that I have in my collection. I am aware that the two eagle badges are post war.
Ian
