peter monahan Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallic_rooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark McM Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 thanks Peter! Good point... though it seems kind of robustly constructed for a sweetheart or patriotic piece. Still, it’s quite a nice badge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
