    3 = 'Mouvement Social Révolutionnaire' (revolutionary social movement)
    (The revolutionary Social movement (MSR) was a party of fascistic inspiration, founded in Paris in 1940. Founded by Eugene Deloncle, former chief of the Hood, the movement gathered number of old cagoulards (Eugene Schueller, Jean Filliol, Jacques Corrèze, etc), but also others personalities, like Jean Fontenoy. Its orientation was fascistic inspiration and rather collaborationnist that purely Vichyist. The revolutionary Social movement disappeared in 1944.)
    4 = ?
    5 = FFI but for what (commemoration stick pin?) .Lorrainr cross on boat sail.

      Hello,

      i can help with some identifications..

      1: This badge would appear to be for the R.N.P ( Rassemblent Nationale Populaire) and an early version of the design. One of the larger, main collaborationist parties of the period.

      4: A badge design for the LFC - The Legion of French Combatants, a Vichy organisation that was designed to replace all exisiting French veterans organisations with a single entity. A year after this decree the organisation allowed membership other than veterans and allowed those it deemed suitably politically minded to join and it was renamed to reflect it.

            #5 is probably $10-25 - The serialized full size pins are about $20-25.

            #4 - I'd estimate at $20-30
