Made for export....and if the intent was to be imported to America....it needed to be marked country of origin since the 1890's.
I don't think that this is a military whistle....no obvious military marks that I can see.
As for age...I would guess it be from the 1920's or 30's

That was supposed to be a joke I think.
All I'll say about that is, after I read a book that explained what the French went through in WWI. How many French soldiers died and why, those little digs aren't funny to me any more. You'll see why they called it the war to end all wars.

It indeed was.

It was just a small poke at a stereotype. We all know the suffering all nations endured during those times. It's OK to have a sense of humor about it, while still respect the sacrifices. I wasn't there, but both my grandfathers were. If they can poke fun and laugh at it, so can we.

Here's another one: how many of those French soldiers were shot in the back?

I'll say it!

They aren't known for squaring up in a fight. So somewhere in the posterior portion of the body caught the lead more than likely…..
