A pre-war flag head of the Polish Red Cross. Made of brass in the form of a Polish eagle with outspread wings in a crown, resting on a white circle with a red cross. Remnants of silver plating and paint.
Overall condition can be seen in the photos.
The form suggests that the spearhead is from the 1920s, differing from the later spearheads of the Polish Red Cross. The Polish Red Cross was founded in 1919 with the support of Helena Paderewski and the Polish White Cross Society. During the interwar years, the Polish Red Cross functioned as a paramilitary organization, providing military training, purchasing military ambulances and courses. Members of the Polish Red Cross took part in the Polish Defensive Campaign of 1939, And later on other fronts. Lt. C. 33, W. Max. 16.7
