Unusual Vietnamese made beret

[Bob Chatt]

Yesterday was the monthly Rose Bowl hunt that I try to never miss. Owen and I were walking the aisles and he took off to get a field made German camo jacket and I just kept walking. Sitting in a vintage clothing dealers booth was a large box of hats. Some o.d. caught my eye so I started digging. At the bottom was this beret.
It is a high quality Vietnamese made one piece wool body. Sewn to the front is this bullion badge. Don't know what it is ( Military, hopefully, school, religious, etc.). There is no tailor tag but there is a foil size 57 tag.
Does anyone recognize this badge?
Thanks in advance,
Bob

Okay, the motto translates to "Our Beliefs".

I have no clue on the origin this is but it has a very British look to it, Lions rampant etc

[Beau Brummel.]

Agreed and I also think you could be bang on with a school Bob, possibly a church school. The bullion and design look very European/British as Paul has stated.

Yours, Guy.

Almost a flavour of a blazer badge to add to the speculation.

Speaking from my own school experience.

*shudder*

Andrei said it is misspelled but means something like "Behold the Almighty in War".

[Howard Kelley]

Could it be from the period when the French were in control of the area? Unit crest from a French unit?

Bonsoir,

I can say it's not french. If I can add my two cents: what about a british merchant navy company or ship?

Cheers

I am open to any ideas. I at first thought a school or university when I saw it, but with Andrei's translation it doesn't sound very much like a school or civilian company motto.
