I would like to know also. This small pin was presented to me in 1984 while I was in Morocco. All these years I have thought it was Moroccan.  I know that there was once a large French influence in Morocco so perhaps this is a French pin. We still don't know what EFA means.  I will check with some contacts. Stand by.

I believe EFA is the French organisation Etudes et Fabrications Aeronautiques. The parachute wings are their trademark, I think, and appear on various parachute items produced for the French military.

Here is the trademark:

Thank you numbersix. That solves a mystery 3 plus decades old for me. A French Parachute Equipment Manufacturer.

Cool!
