Description from the seller
Rare Vintage Polish National Emblem Shield Plaques — Pair, Aluminium, PRL Era with Later Added Crown
A genuinely rare pair of Polish national emblem (Orzeł Biały / White Eagle) wall plaques, shield-shaped with a deep red enamelled/painted ground and a bold embossed aluminium eagle in relief, in the traditional heraldic pose with wings outstretched. These date from the PRL (communist) era, when the eagle emblem was officially produced without its crown — the crown seen here was added afterward, by hand, following the fall of the regime, as ordinary people restored the crown to the national emblem on their own initiative before this became the official state symbol again. A genuinely rare and historically interesting survivor of that transitional period, sold as a matching pair.
Features:
Shield: Pressed/embossed aluminium eagle in relief on a red enamelled or painted ground
Design: Traditional Polish eagle coat-of-arms shield shape, originally crownless (PRL-era production), with a crown later added by hand after the regime change
Condition: Genuine vintage condition, surface wear consistent with age (see photos)
Style: Vintage Polish national emblem / commemorative wall plaque
Historical note: A rare example of the grassroots, unofficial restoration of the crown to the eagle emblem following the fall of communism in Poland
Origin: Poland — PRL era
A genuinely rare and striking matching pair with real graphic character and a documented piece of social history — a real find for collectors of vintage Polish heraldry, or anyone drawn to the history of Poland's transition away from communism.
