    2e BEP Badge

    Do you think this badge is for 2e BEP. It seems to have the right markings on the back – slanted stripes. But has DRAGO PARIS not PARIS NICE. No G1948 mark.

        And against a more modern one, on the right, is a little smaller.

          For reference, DRAGO badges were manufactured with identifying marks on the back as follows:

          prior 1940 : 25 rue Béranger.

          1944-1947 : DRAGO, Paris-Nice.

          1947-1952 : 43 rue Olivier Métra.

          1952-1960 : 3 rue de Romainville.

          1960-1990 : DRAGO, paris.

          1990-1995 : Marne la Vallée.

              The use of irregular lines and DRAGO Paris indicates different time periods. But also here 1954 – 56 has DRAGO Paris.

                This is an early 2nd REP badge with light green enamel.

                    I've found the guides for Drago production are very good rules of thumb, but there are plenty of exceptions
