French military hat ID (french foreign legion)?
Hi everyone, i just got back from the outback. I came across a antique shop in the middle of know where. Spotted this hat. The description said " french military hat , legion? "
The guy was asking $130 aussie dollars.
I had a gut feeling it maybe worth alot more.
Anyone know more about it, what year or if it is French foriegn legion?

Anyone know what this is?

Might just leave it in the shop me thinks. Maybe non Military

Appears to be a sergeant's kepi, given the metallic chinstrap ( can't tell if gold or silver),likely for infantry arm of service.
Not FFL, as they wear a voided grenade badge, with side buttons reading " Legion Etrangere" surrounding a grenade.
Any device or motto on the side buttons?

Almost forgot; asking price is far, far too high.
