The (marksman?) set says "ELEKTRO" on the top, and "POZNAN" on the bottom, on the right, and on the left it has "KRAKOW" on the bottom. (THE 2 diff. clasps also have 2 diff. threads! The tank set has what seem to me as an unusual feature, The thing coming up from the back of the tank has an amazing resemblance to a USA native American Chief's head dress. Any idea what it really means? By the way I have an extra "marksman" right, if anybody needs one. I would also like to trade if anyone has the reversed situation as I have. Thanks for any help.Any idea what these are?

Any idea what these are?
I found these in an old box of printing plates I have not looked into in 5 years. I notice they are both a left & right pair. Any idea who used them? When? For what? There are no MM on any of the pieces. The tank set has this on the screw grasper - "FOTO-PAM" on the top, and "KRAKOW" on the bottom. So I assume these are Polish? Must be post-war, the poles had nothing like that in 1939, did they? The (marksman?) set says "ELEKTRO" on the top, and "POZNAN" on the bottom, on the right, and on the left it has "KRAKOW" on the bottom. (THE 2 diff. clasps also have 2 diff. threads!

Re: Any idea what these are?
Cold war era by the look of them ... the tank looks like a Soviet T72 model.

stumped the forum?
I guess these pins must be rare if NOBODY knows what they are. I assume the Tank pins are Polish, because of Krakow. But what about the others? No info available?

Moving this away from the Axis insignia section.

Re: Any idea what these are?
This is Foto-Pam Kraków today. Elektro Poznań probably hasn't survived the fall of communism. Both were manufacturers of stuff like that for military and civilian uses.
Those are collar badges of mechanized infantry and armored forces. And are used even today as can be see here.
The head dress is the wings of the Polish Winged Hussars. They appropriately were the elite armored forces of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 16th and later centuries.
