My Polish-American Collection
]Polishboys Polish-American Collection. Early Polish Immigrents formed 2 Polish-American Fraternal organizations
in the late 1800’s. One was the Polish National Alliance or PNA, the other was the Polish Falcons a sort of Para Military organization. The following badges and pins represent conventions from various cities. Casimir Sypniewski, a lawyer from Pittsburgh, PA was a cofounder and these are his badges. He eventually broke away from the PNA since he wanted to maintain connections with Poland and the others wanted an independent organization. The Falcons
provided soldiers for Hallers Army. I sold-off a large uncrowned Eagle flag, which hung outside one of General Hallers recruiting offices. My collection is but a fraction of what was available back then. These organizations
are slowly closing for lack of participants.

Mr. Moderator - I hope I am not imposing upon the Polish Military Forum.
