    The seller informed me this was a pre 1945 issue French kepi issued to commanders/officers of the French foreign legion, I highly doubt this is true but seeing as price was very cheap I brought it regardless.
    Does anyone know a specific date for this kepi? also was this really issued to officers ? and does it belong to the French foreign legion?

    Hello
    the flaming bomb is not Foreign Legion
    the visor is made from plastic, so post WW2
    this képi is from school or cavalry

    Kepi is for a senior nco in a light cavalry regiment, or an nco school. Foreign legion officer kepis are all officially dark blue, actually black, with a scarlet crown & gold embroidery, except the cavalry regiment, which has silver. The grenade badge will be voided, and the side buttons will read Legion Etrangere.
