Gwar Posted December 20, 2021 Share #2 Posted December 20, 2021 Looks like the French Foreign Legion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custermen Posted December 21, 2021 Share #3 Posted December 21, 2021 2 hours ago, Gwar said: Looks like the French Foreign Legion I searched using Google and it seems that most of what pops up are French Foreign Legion badges, etc. I didn't see any pocket hanger amongst those photos. The grenade is used in many French insignias and sewn on the kepi in various colors to represent different branches. I thought it might be some Command organization.

Proud Kraut Posted December 21, 2021 Share #5 Posted December 21, 2021 French Army was my first thought as well. I have owned a lot of French Army Artillerie pocket hangers with similar elemts, red/blue color and flaming bomb. Here´s one example attached. I have searched the net as well but couldn´t find it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numbersix Posted December 21, 2021 Share #6 Posted December 21, 2021 It is a puzzler; as far as I know the Foreign Legion grenade has seven flames whereas the insignia posted appears to only have five flames and the two wing flames are ridged on the outside which does not seem to be reflected in the Foreign Legion insignia.

USMCR79 Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share #7 Posted May 20, 2022 I am now thinking that it may be Belgian since I acquired it with Belgian and French medals from the Korean War era. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
