    Hello Gents,

    I own this fragment of a colonial Medal. Unfortunately the medal is missing.

    Is it worth and possible to restore this piece ?

    How rare are these clasps ?

    How old are these clasps and how must the medal look like ?

    Many questions and I hope that some questions can be responded.

    Every help appreciated.

    Well... not easy to answer but let's try.

    1. These clasps are not scarce.

    2. Your clasp "MAROC" in this oriental style is normally for the Morocco campaign medal, not for the Médaille Coloniale, but it is common to find it on this ribbon. However, it exists for the Médaille Coloniale with the same design than your clasp "SAHARA".

    3. The combination of "MAROC" and "SAHARA" is something possible starting in the 1910s (the campaign medal for Morocco is instituted in 1909). Your medal is a second type, after 1914.

    4. How it looks like:
