Paul L Murphy Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I thought I would share this with you. It is one of my latest purchases and is a badge I have been after for many years now. It is the unit badge worn by the 4th Compagnie Mixte Portee of the 2nd Regiment Etrangere Infantry (4th Mixed Mounted Company, 2nd Foreign Legion Infantry Regiment). The unit was formed in Morocco in November 1940 and existed until April 1943. The badges were made by Drago with the Rue Berenger address on the reverse. These are very hard to find and rather expensive (this one cost me almost EUR600).

Chris Boonzaier Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Ooof! French pocket badges are like US Patches... 90% are worth nothing, 8% are worth a bit, and 2% cost surprisingly much! Nice piece though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
