I found it on the fleamarket and I thought it is perhaps nice to share here with you.
The Memorial Museum 1944 in Bayeux-Normandy is founded in 1981, so the keychain is from after that date. Remeber June 6,1944 .

Thanks Gaspare, always appreciated smile


I found another keychain ww2-related.

At the end of the German Blizkrieg in France , Charles de Gaulle went to London.
There, in London, he did a famous appeal to the French on 18 June,1940.
De Gaulle’s text,on the keychain, free translated :
France has lost a battle , but France has not lost the war .
Appael on 18 june (1940)
London

Four days later, on 22 june 1940, in the Compiegne Wagon.……France surrendered officially; The Sign of Armistice between France and Germany .

Gaspare, Mikee, thanks for your reply.

it's a memory piece of the Appeal of 1940...
Déco style of the chain and the brass rivets...... could it be dated from the 40s ?

- Possible Benten...


, On the medal there seems to be a maker.. You might be able to research that then see who made them and how offered...
