Hello Andreas.

It is the insignia of the 7. Bataillon Colonial de Commandos Parachutistes renamed 7. Batailon Parachutistes Colonial in 1951. Deployed in Indochina and dissolved in 1954, was awarded two Palmes to the Croix de Guerre T.O.E. Saw reformation and different unit missions but was finally dissolved in 1992.

This insignia was an early one when it was designated 7. B.C.C.P.
