    Badge with an identification logo.

    Friends, please help us identify this icon. What division could it belong to? The sign was found in Russia.
    Thank you for your help!

      Thanks!
      Yes, the reverse shows the manufacturer from Paris. Only the question remains, who could it belong to!? French division or not?

        It's the regimental crest for the 162nd Fortress Infantry Regiment [162e Régiment d'Infanterie de Forteresse], which was part of the troops manning the Maginot Line and disbanded in 1940:

          Thank you very much!!!
          Unexpected!) Probably, some French soldier decided to repeat the path of his ancestor, but this time did not reach Moscow!) Or it is a trophy of a German soldier who visited France!?
          Is this icon rare or not? How much can it cost in this state?

            We'll never know how it got there...

            Sorry; I cannot comment on rarity or value.
