About the Item
Vintage French Foreign Legion Plaque divided into sections of blue, white and red with a black and yellow stripe, possibly representing a specific regiment or campaign distinction. In the center is a raised relief of a flaming grenade, a traditional emblem associated with the French Foreign Legion and other French military units. The flames are stylized in painted in faded fold and red tones. The sign reads "A NOUS LA LEGION" in gold lettering which translates to "The Legion is ours." The piece has signs of wear and age with cracking and fading in the paint. It is boarded by a simple wooden frame painted in red with a slight bevel, consistent with hand-painted folk or military commemorative plaques. The piece is likely a commemorative or decorative sign associated with a veterans' association, celebrating pride in service.
