J.CHYLINSKI WARSAWA

[karl]

I know, its not totally matching theme, but maybe somebody knows what is it?
The letters behind say: J.CHYLINSKI WARSAWA
I think it might be some military item issued before WWII.
Maybe somebody recognizes it as a copy/false?

Well - a very interesting question. For me seems to be one of decorations/badges/medals etc. (maybe a golden one...) of L.O.P.P. - Airborne and Antigas Defence League (Polish: Liga Obrony Powietrznej i Przeciwgazowej) - a big polish paramilitary organization, founded in 1928. This organisation had a similar logo:

"J. Chylinski, Warszawa" - seems to be a trade mark of a private manufacturer of this kind of military decorations in Warsaw - I found here f.e. his Horse Artillery Division badge, identically marked:

For a first impression I thought this object could be any art of war decoration from Nazi-Germany (because of swastika-emblem, "Hakenkreuz"). Anyway thesame emblem was surpringly very often used also by many military and paramilitary polish organisations before IIWW - L.O.P.P. was one of them:

Thank you gentelmen, I think there is no doubt its L.O.P.P.
The only question still stangis is if its genuine or not.
Maybe somebody can point out any polish forum, there competent people hang around?

PS. somewhere I have seen even a Coke advertishment in the form of swastika
