Toporzeł

The Toporzeł is a Polish emblem, created by Stanisław Szukalski in 1935 as coat of arms of reborn "Second Poland".[1][2] It was created by combination of axe and eagle. The head has the form of a hook, which symbolizes breaking a tradition.

"Therefore, I am bringing you a beautiful sign, a new Eagle, even simpler than the Piast, so that you, who are possessed, are also you, the intention of the mission of the Rodoslawi; with an open heart they adopted on their banners, a sincere confession of national and racial patriotism, this is the sign of Topor, which became the Eagle. Let the Axor give us all, regardless of the different paths of attaining to the same Ideal, inspiration is needed today “ - S.Szukalski

The emblem with an added cross, called "Topokrzyż", was seen in "Krak" magazine, published by Szukalski. It contains the inscription "GOJ - Gospodarczą Organizujmy Jedność" (sounding like "Goy" and means "Organize Economic Unity"), and was intended to mark non-Jewish shops.[3]

"Topokrzyż" is new being used by neopaganic, nationalistic organizations like Association for Tradition and Culture "Niklot".
