    Makanudo There is no such thing as simple.Simple is hard.

    I guess it was military.
    Its size is 2.3cm in diameter. Brass back plastic dome and "golden" eagle and stripes.
    Thanks!

    Not French I'd say, looks more like red white and black.

    I was gonna say that at 2.3cm it's pretty oui...
    ...but I won't since it's not French.

    It may simply have looked better vertically.

    Even if it was blue, it would be wrong way round - le tricolor is blue - white - red.

    Ask someone for a safety pin wherever you go. Some will have no clue what it is despite the fact they were everywhere at one time. :p
