I have found very similar badges online in cloth but I can’t find the same one in metal. Does anyone know what the badge is and some kind of idea on value please
Thanks in advance

The badge is a battle honour conferred on the 7th Hussars by the 2nd Polish Corps, commanded by General Wladislaw Anders, after they fought together against the Germans at Ancona and Rimini in Italy in 1944. The badge is referred to as the Syrena or mermaid badge, or the Maid of Warsaw.

Hi Dave, it's the Polish 2nd Corps patch but in metal. Usually made in Italy. The holes were to enable it to be sewn on the uniform. It should have the shield in red, usually paint and some one has removed it. Hope this helps Mike

they were produced by the company BOERI ROMA. their name was stamped on the reverse of the shield edge top right. the firm also produced the EIGHTH ARMY shield together with the POLAND title.
