JB4244 Posted November 6, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 6, 2015 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenchbuff Posted November 6, 2015 Share #2 Posted November 6, 2015 The twisted pin is a pretty typical French feature from WW1. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmcaviator Posted November 7, 2015 Share #7 Posted November 7, 2015 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)! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted November 8, 2015 Share #8 Posted November 8, 2015 Not uncommon to find the globe upside down. Nice emblem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB4244 Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted November 8, 2015 Hello all, Thanks for your comments. This insignia was found in the South of France, in Montpellier. It came with WW1 french medals. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmcaviator Posted November 11, 2015 Share #10 Posted November 11, 2015 These are still in France....I bought a very rare French made hat device out of France as well. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zotig111 Posted November 18, 2015 Share #11 Posted November 18, 2015 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... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
