French Administration Badge

[wolfeknives]

I am thinking of getting this badge. I can't find much information on what the original should look like. I had no luck finding any photographs of the reverse set up in my books. I only found one example in the forum, but it is different and no comments on the badge.

Does anyone have one of these to compare?

Thank's Stu, that is the badge disscussed in the thread I mentioned above. The setup and badge are different. I suppose these could have been produced by several makers.

Thank you very much for posting the pictures Ron. The details in the front and the reverse setup appear to be very close. I am not sure what to think of the lines an each side of the back on the one I posted. Almost looks like a cracked die. But still, I think it looks ok. It seems strange to have such a simple pin on what appers to be a high quality badge.
I had no idea that the other two existed.That makes it more interesting - something else to hunt for.
