French RF button.
Hello all,
I would be grateful for an identification on this large 29mm diameter button. I assume the RF stands for Republique Francais but don't know who wore it? The backmark is LA BELLE JARDINIERE PARIS which according to Google were making buttons from 1885-1923. Thanks, David. |

Your button is listed in Louis Fallou's book "Le Bouton uniforme Français" on page 315 as a livery button: "De la Présidence de la République". Introduced 1914.
At this address: Palais de l'Élysée 55 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré 75008 Paris |
