    Nice pieces. But why the eagles are different? I only knew the one in the red beret

    Best regards

    I'm guessing one is communist era and the other post-communism. I was hoping Martin might be able to shed some light on these ... (too lazy to google the answer at the mo'!)

    I like this stuff. I'm no expert in the berets or badges, but the blue one is 7LDDM (7th Lusatian Marine Assault/Landing Division) the famous "Blue Berets", it has the later communist eagle in white pvc (before early 1980s it was in grey pvc). The maroon beret is airborne, communist dated but with post-communist eagle sewn on. Airborne insignia: larger blue and larger purple are earlier versions, smaller two are later versions. Different colours designate different units/battalions/companies in the airborne div. Purple one is Repairs and Servicing Battalion - Airborne RAEME I guess... I could look the others up. Red Poland patch is overseas patch for UN deployments. Rank is Senior WO, abolished in 2004, but I can't tell from the photo if it's Army (green) moro or Airforce/Air defence black moro? Black Poland patches - I don't know what they are.

    Let me know if you want to trade any, I'm after some stuff like this to complete some uniforms...

    Thanks for the additional info Vitalis. I must say they look a bit garish to wear out field on a combat uniform ...
