Randy Posted August 19, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 19, 2018 Has what appears to be the Arc de Triomphe on it. The only info I have is the lady's aunt served as a surgical nurse in WW 2. It may not be US, if not I apologize but this is out of my collecting area and I'm trying to help a friend out. Any help appreciated, thanks!

Randy Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted August 19, 2018 Do an internet search on French anti aircraft or searchlight unit insignia. I did kick around a bit with that earlier, no luck. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted August 19, 2018 Share #4 Posted August 19, 2018 The small badge in the base is for the Fr Republican Guard (this is not a US insignia) I found a Fr AAA insignia that also had the letters DCA, but cannot find an answer for the letters nor can I find any help w/ a translation. DCA does not translate into either AAA or searchlight. Perhaps one of our Fr members can answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted August 19, 2018 It did some more looking. It appears ten DCA is for Defense Contre les Avions. As this is obviously not US, mods can feel free to lock it. I appreciate the reply! Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
