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 .

Benten,,, your still finding some super pieces!.. Looks like 'messing',,could even be from a die and then plated [?]...


Yes, thats very well made and a nice piece! Thanks for posting.......

Thanks Gaspare, always appreciated


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 .

nice deep relief! , probably anther pressed or struck piece!...

- He certainly returns though!!!!!! , Thanks for posting....

benten,

Very nice items to collect. ..I have visited many times and picked up some museum memorabilia. Thanks for showing them.

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...

Gaspare,
Yes, I did already research about it , but concerning the date, without any result. Anyhow thanks.
