JapanX Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 wow! very nice! never seen or heard of it before. don't suppose you might hint at where you got it? :-) This is your answer. From the Musée de la Légion d'Honneur collection. ...And as far as I know this piece is still in the possession of this great Museum along with Napoleon Légion d'Honneur collar and many others rare and beautiful phaleristic treasures. This photo was made through showcase glass. Just take a good look and you will see that. Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
