la Garde Républicaine Mobile, existed only from 1927 to 1940. It was a kind of national gendarmerie, on horse. very informative article about the GRM
It is also interesting that the three pieces found by posters here, all are of the 4ème legion, located around Nancy. The 4ème legion was established only in 1929, so the mess tokens cannot be older than that year.

We can not know how many were made, or how many survived. I use the word 'rare' only with caution.
They do seem to be available. I found another one on ebay for €50.
