Dear all, I've been told that these badges on picture were issued for graduates from "Ecole Sup?rieure de Guerre", French military academy/staff college (located in Paris) in 1920's and/or 1930's. Can someone confirm this? At least letters on badge match the French name of the school.. How long these badges were given to graduates, I mean with this design? This one pictured was for a graduate from 45th Promotion, years in school were 1923-1925. Also, this one pictured in here could be available if I make a good offer for the owner... what would be the ballpark figure for it? Thanks for your help! Miikka

Hello all, I've been a silent/reading member on this forum for some time now and this is very informative place to be! I did a search in here but couldn't find info I was looking for. How does a badge look like that is issued to graduates from "Ecole Sup?rieure de Guerre", French military academy ? Has the design been same all the time (or let's since 1910 till today)? Is it difficult to find/expensive badge? I'm trying to complete a Finnish staff officers uniform display and several graduated from this Academy in 1920's; so if not too difficult/expensive badge I'd be grateful for a lead to find such a badge from pre-WW2 era. With rgds, Miikka
