OK, will show you the badges - probably for the first time all together in public
The instructor badge is missing number of category on canopy (1 or 2). Probably tower jumps badge is missing red enamel among parachute cords.

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[/QUOTE] Ian, You have legit and genuin badges used in Polish Army after WW2: - upper for Air Force - parachutist and PJI - lower for Army - PJI of II category and parachutist (15 jumps) The badges are mostly still in use. There were different variants since 1945. Also Air Force badges were used by Army paras (airborne) until 1967.

Rafal,
Thank you for the extra info. Very much appreciated. As is said, it's a bad day when you don't learn something new! Say safe and have fun. Regards, Ian

The number on the wreath is "928", possibly with another digit improperly stamped - "?928"?

Given the number produced /awarded "1" would make sense?
