Mein Großvater starb im Alter von 93 Jahren. Er sagte, er sei ein Pole aus der polnischen Kosakenregion. Während Covid verstorben. Er und seine 5 Brüder erhielten 4 Purple Hearts. Ich möchte den Ring auf die richtige Art und Weise tragen, um ihn zu ehren. Danke.

We do not use double-headed eagle as a symbol anywhere. This is either Russian or Prussian in origin.
First option looks more natural. But, I don’t know, this two-head eagle looks Russian, not Polish, maybe ask on their sub? Or your grandfather was mason…
If he wore it, I’m afraid he had nothing to do with Poland. For us, the double-headed eagle is a symbol of repression and persecution of Poles. No Pole would wear it out of respect for their roots.
Definately imperial russian eagle. Not many Poles would wear it proudly
Edit: Someone found the true meaning and its nkt russian, but at the same time Indian people use swastica every day and it would still be a bad idea to wear it in Poland. This comment section only proofes that people might automatically associate your grandpa with tsarist regime. And thats no bueno.
Freemason ring
Dziadek był komuszkiem 😛
Was there a real Polish-Cossack region? I honestly don’t know about cossacks in poland except during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
I associate Cossacks with being no more western than western Ukraine.
During partition of Poland, two (out of three) invaders had DOUBLE-HEADED EAGLE as their symbol / in their coat-of-arms. In this case (based on your Polish-Cossack region, which may mean current Ukraine) – this most likely is a symbol of Russian Empire (second being Austrian Empire).
Either way – definitely something that no Polish person would ever wear!
Put it in to the drawer.
To że kogoś u ruskich nazywają Polakiem, to jeszcze nie znaczy że się nim czuł. Rokossowski i Dzierżyński też tak byli tam nazywani.
Your grandfather was rather a russian, very few polish would wear the sign of oppression and even fewer would be proud of it..
Second picture. So when you punch a Nazi he will have the Polish stamp on the forehead.
I don’t get how you can honor someone by wearing a ring that you don’t know the meaning of and you don’t even know how it’s supposed to be worn. You might wear it to remember your grandpa, which is cool for me, but how is he being honoured?
Your grandfather was Illuminati, watch out they will try to recruit you, this is the first step
Wearing it is not diffrent that wearing swastica.
I am sorry to about your loss. This ring might honor your grandfather but it’s not polish. To poles it’s a symbol of opression of a foreign state. No pole would ever wear it.
Ebay got me something like this

As comments below suggest, based on the pictures it looks like a free mason ring. Free masonry was pretty popular in Poland for some time. And to all people having some superstitions around that organisation here is a list of famous Poles throughout history who were part of that organisation:
• Stanisław August Poniatowski – Master Mason (Attained all degrees in one day in 1777)
• Gabriel Narutowicz – Master Mason
• Prince Józef Poniatowski – Master Mason (Member of the „Mourning Lodge“)
• Stanisław Kostka Potocki – Grand Master (Grand Orient of Poland)
• Jan Henryk Dąbrowski – Master Mason (Member of the „United Brothers“ Lodge)
• Józef Wybicki – Master Mason
• Kazimierz Pułaski – Master Mason (Initiated in a military lodge)
• Walery Sławek – Master Mason
• Aleksander Fredro – Master Mason
• Janusz Korczak – Master Mason (Member of the „Le Droit Humain“ Federation)
• Antoni Słonimski – Master Mason
• Marian Falski – Master Mason
• Jan Józef Lipski – Grand Master (Grand Lodge of Poland, 1991)
So following your logic singing polish national anthem is free masonry as well 🥸
