From the wording it must be a French fireman's badge, but exactly what time period Jeanpit would have a better idea, n'est pas?

Thank you Jeanpitt and you David, I believe fireman is right & more than likely civilian. Now can you translate that into english,word for word whether it makes sense or not. Ray
