Unidentified badges from former French colonies
Good evening
I recently received a group of mainly police/gendarmerie badges from countries formerly ruled by France. However these 6 remain unknown to me, so I’d be very grateful as always if anyone can correctly ID them, or at least point me in the right direction. Any that don’t fit into my collection will be offered for swap or sale, initially on the Forum. *****Update***** The following have been ID'd - thanks to those who helped. #2. Benin Police cap badge. #4. Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire), usage unknown. #5. Burkina Faso Infantry Group breast badge, (Groupement d'Infanterie des Forces Armées Voltaïques). #6. French Navy Assistant PTI breast badge (aide moniteur d'éducation physique et sportive dans la Marine nationale/assistant physical education and sports instructor in the French Navy). Thanks for looking Graham

CIFAV - Commission for Vocation Ministry and Initial Formation ? Marists of Champagnat : Religious 'missionary' group with a large presence in numerous (21) African countries. Can't find badge/symbols so may be completely off target. .

I believe I have now ID'd #2 as an older Benin Police cap badge.
