French 'Commandement En Chef Pour Atlantique' Solid Bronze Plaque
This is a very heavy solid bronze Plaque measuring 10 1/2" x 5 3/4" for The Commandment En Chef of The Atlantique....obviously this was at some time in the past attached to the Commanders door, or Operations Offices in Brest, France.
