French Badges - Airforce-Naval-Foreign Legion
Hi all trying to get to grips with these! Hopefully you might help by confiming if in correct groupings, if you have the name for a badge great and I can start by putting into these groups and gradually get them sorted?
Will make an Album and place them into it after taking a picture of them individually with correct name, many thanks Billy |

Billy, the narrow eagle with crown brass badge (pic 1 & pic 2) is actually Dutch Air Force sidecap badge.
What did you do - rob a Bertrand badge factory or something!!!! Dave Last edited by dragon166; 29-06-20 at 12:03 AM. |

Thanks gents will make a start on Albums shortly, Did look at the Air Force badge a few times thinking that Crown isn't right! But took a long time to tske out of plastic bags and sort through, and to put back! Found American Naval Seal badge, German Police badge and a few other bits and bobs!
It all started with a Brass and Enamelled Artillery Rgt badge the 48th middle of the large group! Gentleman your French beats what I have on the African Legion badges and will label accordingly and will start small the Air Force then Legion though these have various makers marks for same badge! My E-mail address is:- awgirvan@gmail.com Many thanks for the help Billy |
