Hello,

 

I want to buy this insignia, but I'm not sure if it's original or not ?

What do you think about it ?

 

Look the globe ... continent is upside down !

 

Thanks !

Totally original, French made version of the more commonly found straight anchor stock, despite the eagle being mounted on the bottom of the globe (upside down)!

Hello all,

 

Thanks for your comments.

 

This insignia was found in the South of France, in Montpellier. It came with WW1 french medals.

 

Regards.

These were specifically manufactured for Marines who served at the embassy in Australia. That way when they were down under, the globe would be right side up...
