Eighteenth -century mysterious eagle estimated from the heart of Polish forests

Quoted by Heritage Dilly; The badge, probably owned by a Polish crown infantry soldier, was found near the military historical route between the cities of Chelm and Loblin. This route was used during the war of defense of the Constitution on May 3 and the uprising of Kuschushko in year 4.

The discovered badge shows the eagle with a closed crown that has a sword in its right fork and is located on a set of two war balls, four flags on each side and two pyramids of guns. The dimensions of this badge are 2 x 2 cm and the back of the letters, which may be “s” and “m”, can be seen. This badge was found among the remaining metal pieces of a military hat called Shoko; The cylindrical hat used by the European Army regiments in the 5th and 5th centuries.

Based on the design and connection methods, Professor Machi Tobuski of the University of Ian Doguge in Chestovo has stated that the indicator may belong to a Polish crown pedestrian soldier and belong to the period between the ages of 1 and 2. This period coincided with the reform of military uniforms and the emergence of eagle badges on military hats.

According to Professor Tobsky, so far only five signs of the eagle have left the period that have common features such as the eagle head to the left, the right -hand body, unequal wings and the right fork. The rare discovery will be transferred to the Victor Ambroziv Regional Museum in Chelm to add to the growing collection of the museum’s military works.
