Polish Graduation Badges

[Al-muell]

You are right, my mistake. I'll see if I can find out wether there was a special badge at that time, but probably not.

I have shed some light on the subject, here is a page from the book "Odznaki Wojska Polskiego 1943-2003" Volume 2 by Sawicki and Wielechowski. It was a third variant awarded from 1989 to 1990, so definitely a transition piece.
