    Default General Dufour Pin?

    Hello
    What are your thoughts on this pin? ( Swiss)
    I have no idea what it is for?
    I was thinking Geneva Convention?
    It is marked on the back.
    Thank you

    I would think it is a commerative souvenir of the man himself rather than a direct connection to the Geneva Convention as although he did preside over the first Geneva Convention he was a Swiss national hero as a famous military leader and engineer long before 1937. The badge itself is a representation of a 19th century statue in Geneva.
    As a souvenir pin I would guess it would have a value of no more than 10 Euro.

    I hope this helps.

    Regards
