AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This pin features a stylized French military kepi, recognizable by its cylindrical shape and black visor. The item is presented in a small clear plastic bag, preserving its condition. The visible side of the pin shows a kepi design with gold outlines, the top of the kepi being white with a thin gold border, while the visor is black, also highlighted by a gold outline. The ensemble offers a clear contrast and a brilliant finish, typical of enameled badges.

The design is simple and clean, with no text or visible markings on the front. The style evokes military or commemorative badges distributed during events or ceremonies related to the French army. The overall appearance suggests manufacturing after the 1980s, a period when this type of enameled pin became widespread in France, particularly to represent professions, institutions, or national symbols.

The surface of the pin has a smooth and shiny finish, with no visible defects through the bag. The outlines are sharp, indicating quality craftsmanship in the cutting and enamel application. Its compact shape and faithful representation of the kepi make it an easily recognizable accessory for enthusiasts of military badges or institutional souvenirs.

The pin is intended to be worn on a lapel, bag, or cap, but it can also be displayed in a showcase or a themed frame. Its small size and sober design make it a discreet yet evocative object of the French military world.
