S-W, that's interesting about the name. Just received info from the gent who holds these items that the Polish vet's name was Lt. Kazimierz BARTOSZYNSKI. So, it appears the first name is correct, but the surname doesn't match. Waiting to see what info others can provide. More checking required at my end I guess.
Thanks to all who took the time to research and reply. Stay safe and have fun.

Hello
The badge was awarded to Lt Kazimierz GONTORZYNSKI - wing no 0633.
1st Corps was HQ authorised to award the badges during this time. It doesn't mean that he served in the 1st Corps.
He was possibly in 1st Rifles Brigade.
This is an early wing made by Grupa Techniczna when the spinners were not marked.
I hope it helps.
