Vintage pre WWII ID Tags/Bracelets Chasseurs a Pied / Alpins
These ID tags were in use from the 1920's through WWII, based on an earlier model used during the Great War (1914-18). Depicted is the insignia of the battalion of the Chasseurs à Pied or Chasseurs Alpins. The insignia fits the classic 12mm wirelug wristwatch strap as used by British and French officers in WWI.

The real leather straps are copies of the original WWI wirelugs. Low postage as fits in regular envelope.
