French Military Genuine ALAT Army Light Aviation Corps Gold Pin Badge with Engraving, Vintage Archive
Product Description
A genuine vintage pin badge from the French Army's Light Aviation Corps (ALAT: Aviation Légère de l'Armée de Terre), an elite unit responsible for air mobility.
The sharp five-pointed star in the center, the powerfully spread wings, and the laurel wreath embracing them create an item of exceptional decorative beauty, despite its military origin.
The back is engraved with DORE OR FIN, a mark certifying its gold finish (high-quality plating) made in France at the time. It features a deep gold color not found in current inexpensive replicas.
The original concept was to design it as a badge symbolizing the honor and pride of soldiers engaged in harsh aerial missions. While no specific designer's name is publicly disclosed, its appeal lies in its design, which combines discipline and elegance based on traditional French military heraldry.
It is a collector's piece with value as a military archive, but can also elevate modern fashion as an accent on jacket lapels, bags, or hats.
Actual Size
Width: Approx. 22.2mm
Height: Approx. 18.6mm
(This is a small pin badge size by Japanese standards, making it highly versatile.)
Condition and Age
Based on the engraving on the back and the shape of the pin, it is presumed to be a vintage item from the latter half of the 20th century.
While there are minor scuffs due to age, the gold's luster is beautifully preserved, and it remains in very good condition.
