Hello Arthur
Very interesting indeed
Some old military, most specialy from those who did the revolution, were reluctant at wearing the new "Tasrist style" rank insigna.
That said the power in place had some very good and rapid reason to get them adopting the new ranks
This makes you photo quite interesting and rare
all the best

Hello Bruno,
That's what I thought also ...
I do believe this picture could be a great inspiration for someone who want to make a display with an original M35 in early 1943.
On the backside I can guess "March 1943" I guess.
Hello Arthur,
March could fit
The new mle 43 rank insigna were adopted in January and from memory it took 1 to 2 months to get them adopted... even by the most unwilling ones ; )
Definitively a short period of time
Bruno
