The item has a rounded shape, enhanced by a stylized central structure depicting two crossed sabres, surmounted by a compass, all highlighted by a bright red border. The background is mainly black, contrasting with gold elements and touches of red. The inscription \"L'ÉCOLE DE SABRES\" appears in gold capital letters on a black background in the lower part of the emblem, accompanied by a small red heart to the left. The outline of the item has a shiny gold appearance. The pin shows a smooth and shiny finish, typical of old enameled badges, with no visible rough spots on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe graphic design, both understated and evocative, combines classic colors (black, red, gold) characteristic of French school and association badges from past decades. The decorative elements, particularly the compass and stylized sabres, are finely outlined by the colored enamel, giving the whole an official and memorable look. The presence of the red heart accentuates the symbolic nature of this pin, probably intended to mark membership or achievement within the mentioned institution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible surface appears to be in good general condition, with no deep scratches or significant chipping on the enamel. There is a slight patina on the golden edge, indicating a certain age, but no pronounced oxidation is visible on the photographed area. The reverse is not visible in this photo, so no information can be given about the fastening system or any marks on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe colors are vibrant, the enamel retains all its shine, and the inscription is perfectly legible. The pin stands out for its central geometric motif and the balance of its composition, typical of French school badges from the late 20th century. The presence of an old textile decoration in the background highlights the contrast between the object and the support, without affecting the description of the emblem itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
