May 11, 20251 yr #1 Found this beret with a 2nd REP insignia, in the US recently. What intrigues me is that the casting is kind of rough/low quality and the pin in the back is very different from what I have seen before. I don’t think anybody would fake such common insignia and I was wondering if it could be some sort of insignia made outside the country (Indochina? Algeria? Other?) The green beret is also interesting, as the lining seems to be missing and the 2 holes usually found on the side of this type of beret are missing any help to date this beret and insignia will be appreciated thx F. I should also mention that there is no marking on the insignia

June 3, 20251 yr #4 I have never seen this kind of pinback fitting on a French badge. It is probably a repair. Can't tell you much about the badge itself or the beret for that matter. But the beret doesn't look local made. It could be from any European country.
