Early 1960s Insigne Pour Porte-Hélicoptère La Resolue/Resolution Helicopter Carrier Badge

This is a badge for the French helicopter carrier the "Resolution" (insigne pour porte-hélicoptère "La Resolue"). The name given to La Resolue was changed upon commissioning in 1964 to Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc) or just "Jane". The badge is by Courtois of Paris and shows an enameled frigate (the original "Resolue") in full sail at its center.

Circa 1961-1964.

Approximately 5/8" in height and in width.

Plated brass, enamel.

Vertical safety-style pin with saddle.

COURTOIS-PARIS.

This is from a French militaria collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. ebay MAEXL96 LEEX1/12

7 (Very Fine): The badge has some light abrasions to the enamel and spots of minor wear and tarnish.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
