A neat and difficult to find badge to the Polish 2nd Rifles Battalion

This a a good example of a neat and difficult to find badge to the Polish 2nd Rifles Battalion. This unit holds the distinction of being the first infantry unit organized on British soil and was pressed into service as early as July 1940 in the Loch Lomod region of Scotland. The badge with the Royal Stewart tartan backing was displayed on the left hand side FS caps and also painted onto helmets. It was also supposedly worn with the backing on the traditional four cornered ‘rogatywka’ caps. The badge without the tartan backing was also worn on the left breast pocket of the uniform tunic. This example is in a nicly used condition and is unfortunately missing its cotter pin but is easy to replace.
