62e Régiment d’Artillerie d’Afrique – Insigne de Béret/Poitrine
This is the regimental badge (insigne) of the 62e Régiment d’Artillerie d’Afrique (62nd African Artillery Regiment), a unit of the French Army’s specialist North African forces.
Enamel scene: A North African townscape in white enamel against a rich terracotta ground, featuring pyramids (almost certainly the Pyramids of Giza), a minaret, and flat-roofed buildings characteristic of Maghrebi architecture
Maker marked DRAGO PARIS centrally, with a second impressed mark reading DÉPOSÉ DRAGO PARIS – confirming the design was registered
∙ Address stamp reads 25 Rue Béranger – this is the well-known Drago workshop address in Paris, which places manufacture in the post-war period, most likely 1945 to the late 1950s, as Drago used this address from around 1945 onwards
