3rd Algerian Tirailleurs Regiment insignia (3e RTA) by Frainier

Description

Howdy!
Here you have a chance for an insignia of the 3e RTA, the French 3rd Tirailleur Regiment.  This unit, manned by Algerians and led by French officers, served in Mexico (Maximilian days), in WW1 and WW2, and in Indo China.  A unit was even at Dien Bien Phu (3/3RTA).  Highly decorated service for France but after the Algerian War, was disbanded in 1962.
Somewhat unusual, it was made by the French jeweler Frainier, and one observer noted that the captured point pinback stye was of the type usually reserved for officers.  I don't have much experience with French but this appears to predate the DRAGO manufacture era.  What you see is what you are getting.
This comes from a pile of insignia I have amassed over the years, and vary by maker and era.  Please ask questions as
