French Para Brevet WW2
 

Here is a brevet I have had for a number of years within my French collection. I have alternately seen this referred to as WW2 d' Infanterie de l' Air as well as the 1st RCP. 1st Regiment Chasseur Parachutist. This may be a distinction without difference but I am unsure.

In addition to possible wear in WW2 it is also seen worn post war. I would like to think this is a WW2 piece but would be curious to what others may know or say as to it's period of wear.

Thanks
Jack

Hello,
paratrooper patent carried by the 601 and 602 GIA from 1937 to 1940 and then taken over by the 1 RCP. This patent will be replaced by the metal badge on June 1, 1946.
Best regards

Hello Grognard,
Thank you for the explanation. So it was worn in WW2 and a little past into 1946. With a connection to the RCP.
