Dave Danner Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Just bumping this topic back up top to see what members collect or are interested in such. Mark Hi! My collection is not all that large, and is mainly elite unit insignia and qualification badges, with a few others thrown in.

RNLSGC Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 The following are photos of some of the insignia that I aquired some time ago and know nothing about. None the less they have a "neat factor" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapperssgkelley Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Does anyone know of any books on French regimental badges? The websites help but not knowing French it is tough to figure out the organization of the pages. Thanks! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapperssgkelley Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I was recently serving along side French forces and admired their unit insignia. A trip to Paris seeing the large variety really hooked me on French unit insignia. The US Army has similar insignia, but the heraldry of the French badges is a bit more refined. So yes, there are other French DI collectors out here. I am very new to it though. Merci! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qmsi9546 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Good afternoon to all! I have collected British, Commonwealth and NATO badges since the age of 12! After 36 years in the British Army and following retirement it is only within the last 2 years that I have started collecting (seriously) French 'pocket fob' badges. French Army personnel (incl. FFL) wear generic 'cap badges' in their berets and it is the pocket badges which individually identify the unit, and 'brevets' identify that soldiers specialism - para, diver, mountain specialist, etc. A similar system to DUI's in the US Army. At present I have over 1000 and quite a number of books (all in french) to help me identify them. I have also joined a number of French collectors societies; trouble is I speak very basic french (much to my shame) and rely on Google translate for lots . If anyone requires any help in identifying a badge just send me an e-mail - two9546@yahoo.co.uk. All the best, Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 On 31/10/2008 at 20:49, GRA said: Hello RNLSGC! The Spahis are cavalry, in this case originating from the once French colonies in North Africa. Once there were Agerian, Moroccan and Tunisian Spahis regiments, but the only unit left is 1er R?giment de Spahis, equipped with AMX 10 RC. The name Lyautey is simply to commemorate a French general, who was involved in the organisation of Spahis for service in WWI. While all other French cavalry units wear silver badges, the Spahis wear gold badges. Greetings/GRA Hello GRA , Existed also the Spahis Senegalaises , from Senegal . apart the Infantry Tiralleurs .
