Does anyone know what this is?
on: May 07, 2021, 06:12:37 AM
I apologize in advance as I'm not exactly sure where to post this, but I'm hoping one of our European friends might be able to identify this for me.  It's from a friend of mine whose Father recently passed away from Covid.  He was from Germany, and emigrated to Montreal and into the US. He served in the US Marine Corps in the early 1960's.  His son, a life long friend, found this in his goods, and I don't recognize it.   It is marked Paris on the back.  I told him someone on our Forum might know.

Eagle and snake feature on the Mexican flag and the colours are right too.
To be fair I thought you had it there.

It's good to see this GoogleDuckDuckGo-Fu use.
FTFY.

That was fun!
What's next?  :pok:

He was thrilled!  His Dad had friends in the Legion Etrangere but he doesn't know the story behind how he came by a 1st Regiment pocket hanger and badge.  I love our Forum Aloha!!
