Bison Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 This is one of the numerous different badges of the Ligne Maginot units. Here are some examples of a friend of mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim B Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Very cool!Were these actual unit badges or post-war commemorative pieces? How big are the ones you are showing? I have one with a pinback that is approximately 1 1/2" diameter and appears to be of an earlier tombak-like material. Understand there were mini's as well.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim B Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Finally sat down the other day to take some pictures of different items and thought I would post mine to add to the thread. I have been told that the mark near the pin belongs to the manufacturer Arthus Bertrand; is this correct?Tim enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
