God afternoon,

there is a very fine detail on French badges, this is the "homologation" number beginning by a letter (A for air force, G or H) followed by 3 or 4 numerals : here G3211
A very useful site for identification

You choose 'Catalogue' and you enter the numerals in 'Par homologation'

All the Atlas restrikes were manufactured by Arthus-Bertrand.

The 1 GHL was formed in 1977, so a recent badge by Fraisse, another manufacturer
