A." at the top and "ODDO" on the bottom, with the Cross of Lorraine in the center, while the reverse is stamped "F.F.I. O.R.A. LE RESPONSABLE". The second piece, 65mm x 65mm, carries "FORCES FRANCAISES INTERIEURES, 1er Regiment, La Marseillaise, Cie des Aygalades, F.T.P.F." on the obverse and just the letters "FFI." on the reverse. FFI refers to French resistance fighters in the later stages of World War II. Charles de Gaulle used the name as a formal name for resistance fighters. Rare.
