The badge was approved by the Minister of Military Affairs in 1931. Its manufacture is attributed to Wiktor Gontarczyk.
The badge is 40 x 40 mm, two-piece (overlaid eagle), made in tombac oxidized/silver plating (a small amount of plating on the obverse). Cap unsigned, matched, but unidentified - it appears in the 1918-1945 Polish Army Badge catalog by Z. Sawicki and A. Wielechowski.
