AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Visible military badge, diamond-shaped with a point, presented in a rigid black plastic case. The central motif, clearly observable, consists of an enameled background predominantly blue, with a stylized dark blue flower in the lower part, surmounted by a green and gold branch on the right, and a stylized white mountain decoration in the upper part. The edges of the badge are outlined by a thin golden border, a typical aspect of modern French military badges.

The inscription "27e DA" is written in gold letters on the black background of the case, identifying this badge as that of the French Army's 27th Alpine Division. The overall object displays a clean and neat graphic composition, with well-contrasted colors (light blue, dark blue, white, green, and gold). The enamel appears smooth and shiny on the visible side, with no apparent defects or chips in the photo.

The badge is presented in its original box, ensuring good preservation of the front face. No additional markings or inscriptions are visible on the front of the badge.

This type of badge is typical of decorations and symbols of belonging to French army units, here the 27th Alpine Division, recognizable by the blue flower (genepi or gentian, symbolic of alpine troops) and the stylized representation of mountains.
