    What is this? It is some kind of pendant about 1 1/2 inch and has Fraisse Paris on the back. Has a little bit of weight to it. Did google research see nothing like it. TIA everybody! IMG_3211.PNG IMG_3213.PNG

    Thanks davey! Is it just a collectors item? Like a Olympic pin?

    Probably not olympic as it does not have the 5 rings.
    It has the Gallic rooster/ cockerel which is an unofficial national symbol of France, so maybe just a French thing

    More than likely, plated zinc with a hard enamel inlay.
