The cards were very popular and have also been used as first day cards when the arms shown were also used on the French stamps. The French Postal Museum also issued in 1965 cards of the towns that have the privilege to use the War Medal in their arms with a special stamp to commemorate this war medal. Some of these stamped cards are also shown below. | The cards were very popular and have also been used as first day cards when the arms shown were also used on the French stamps.

Differences are sometimes hard to see, but are clearly when two different cards can be compared. Discolouration can also have occurred by light exposure and time. | |||
At the same time, the reverse of the cards can be printed in black or brown, with or without a year. | |||
A further difference can be a small signature under the banner with the name of the region/town. | |||
All together there are a large number of variations among the cards. | |||
