The visible side features a navy blue background, adorned with a double red embroidered border that follows the diamond shape. In the center, the number \"35\" is embroidered in bright red, surmounting the classic flaming grenade symbol, also embroidered in red. This motif is characteristic of French infantry, often used to mark regimental affiliation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric's texture suggests a felted or woolen backing, commonly used for uniform insignias, with raised embroidery that indicates meticulous and regular craftsmanship.
