France WWI Medal for the Volunteers of the Great War with Clasp Engage Volontaire for Voluntary Enlistment by Adolph Rivet

FRANCE: Medal for Volunteers of the Great 
War with clasp "Engage Volontaire" (Voluntary 
Commitment) for Voluntary Enlistment. 
The medal was instituted right after the end of 
WW1. 
Despite the fact that this is an unofficial medal 
(that was forbidden to be worn on uniform) the 
returning to civil life veterans used to wear it with 
pride. 
In 1935, France finally instituted the Cross of 
Volunteers Combatants to reward officially the 
Volunteers of the Great War. 
There are several versions of this medal, but the 
version signed by Adolph Rivet (the mark is 
marginally visible), as of this example, is one of 
the hardest to get.
