French badge ID?

[Mark McM]

Gentlemen, 

Any positive ID on this badge?  Quite high quality, hallmarked under the rooster....

[Mark McM]

any guesses?

The 'cockerel' is one of a number of badges of France, with the Liberty Cap, Fleu-de-Lis and so on.  Given that it is silver and the general outline, I'd guess this is a piece of patriotic [civilian] jewelry, akin to a sweetheart pin, but that's just a guess.  The shape is a bit odd for a military badge, IMO.

thanks Peter!  Good point... though it seems kind of robustly constructed for a sweetheart or patriotic piece.  Still, it’s quite a nice badge!

Bonjour,

 

It's a variant of the insignia of the "Corps Expéditionnaire Français " :
