Hi Rafal,
I don't think SIL is a mark that is/was used in the UK and it's likely to be of Continental Europe origin.

Though would European manufacturers use SIL when English is not a continental language?
Cheers,
Alex

The Germans could use SIL, Silber being German for silver.

But don't the Germans use a number marking systen, like 800 and 925?

I may be wrong on this, but given that it is Polish I would look at Palestine. I assume that the Yiddish word for silver would be derived from the German.

Maybe all will be revealed when we see what this item is?

Please post a picture of the whole badge. That would help enormously. Polish Army in Exile (PSZ) had badges made in many places. PAF - Polish Air Force mostly UK made with some early ones in France. 1st Corps mostly UK made with some early ones in France. 2nd Corps - Palestine, North Africa and Italy.

Seeing the whole badge will help narrow it down. A lot of research has been done on PSZ regalia so it should be fairly easy to get you an answer.

Thanks

I didn't. But it's rather a matter of particular manufacturer of the badge.
