POLAND: Badge of Brotherhood at Arms.
Obverse: The "Grunwald Badge" - the badge that
was awarded by the Polish People's Army to
combatants of the Polish Armed Forces (only
those who returned to Poland after the war), for
their participation in WW2 and the Battle for Berlin.
Inscribed: "BRATERSTWO BRONI NA STRAZY
POKOJU I SOCIALISMU" (Brotherhood at Arms
Guarding Peace and Socialism).
Reverse: Inscribed: "MINISTERSTWO OBRONY
NARODOWEJ" (Ministry of National Defense) and
"POLSKA RZECZPOSPOLITA LUDOWA" (People's
Republic of Poland).
The badge was instituted in 1963 and was awarded
to members of the armed forces of Poland, the
U.S.S.R. and other Warsaw Pact countries as a
symbol of "merits in strengthening the bonds of
friendship, brotherhood of arms and cooperation
between the armies of socialist countries in the
joint struggle for peace and socialism".
This is the 2nd type of the badge issued after 1975
and until 1991 when the badge became obsolete.
The badge is rare.
