Sign (18) - Vintage Polish Civil Defence Medical Point Direction Signs — Painted Metal — Poland (PRL), 1970s–1980s

A striking large lot of original vintage Polish civil defence ("Obrona Cywilna") signage, hand-lettered on painted sheet metal, used to mark out and direct traffic and casualties around a field medical/triage point during Cold War-era civil defence exercises. A rare and highly decorative set with genuine period graphics — the bold yellow ground and red cross medical emblem make an immediate visual statement.

Features:


Department signs (5): Bold black lettering on yellow ground with red cross emblem, reading "ODDZIAŁ OPERACYJNO-OPATRUNKOWY" (Operating & Dressing Ward), "IZOLATOR" (Isolation Ward), "ODDZIAŁ EWAKUACYJNY" (Evacuation Ward), "ODDZIAŁ SEGREGACYJNY" (Triage/Sorting Ward), and "KOMENDA" (Command Post)
Directional arrow signs (8): Arrow-shaped yellow metal signs with red cross medical emblem, used to direct casualties/personnel toward the medical point
Red cross plaque (1): Square yellow plaque with plain red cross medical emblem, no text
Road/traffic signs (4): Blue circular "one-way" directional sign, red circular "no entry" sign, red/white "STOP" sign, and blue "P" parking sign — likely used to control vehicle routing around the site
Material: Painted sheet metal, all pieces predrilled for wall/post mounting
Style: Cold War-era Polish civil defence (Obrona Cywilna) signage, genuine period pieces
Condition: Good vintage condition throughout — natural paint wear, scratches and edge chipping consistent with genuine field/depot use (see photos); mounting holes present on all pieces
