Hi 63cagedfalcon,

 

I'm not sure if this answers your question but here is an example I have on a ex-pat's, who flew with the RAF, side cap.  I'm sure that I not telling you something that you probably don't already know but our examples are pre-war/wartime Polish Army cap badges.  The post war examples, under the communist regime, were the same sans crown. Hope this helps.

Hi 63cagedfalcon.

 

Having some knowledge of these, though no expert, I believe yours is a Polish Army in Exile, or Free Polish Forces cap badge and looking at the fixings, made by Spink & Sons as the J Gaunt badges, also made in the UK were stamped with the company name.

 

This link will take you to a very helpful page which discussed the variantshttps://www.warrelics.eu/forum/polish-armed-forces-west-polskie-si-y-zbrojne-na-zachodzie-1939-1947/polish-hat-eagles-1980/
