Unknown Badge-Third Reich?

[Gordon Craig]

I came across the badge pictured below on an auction where it was listed as being "East German". I have no reference to any badge like this in either my East German books or my Third Reich stuff although it look more like Third Reich piece than an East German one. Anybody know what it is?

On the back of the brass nut are the words "OIO PAM" on the top and "AKOW" on the bottom.

Cheers,

Gordon

The back of the badge.

I am thinking it is Polish?

Ade,

I think you're right, I've several of these Polish badges, and they're indeed post war with either a brass, 'metal' or plastic disc on the back.

It does have that commie workers look to it

Ade, Markus,

Thanks for the comments.

Markus,

Can you tell me what Polish organization this badge comes from?

Nico,

Thanks. My curiosity is almost settled. What time period was this collar badge worn?

Cheers,

As I know from the late 50's to the end of commie Poland in the 90's.
A friend told me that they still have some of them, but I have to let him ask his uncle, who's still in the Army as a captain.
cheers
Nico
