dedehansen Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Hello Gents and collector friends, I have a question to my Tonkin clasp. Is it possible to date or find out who was the producer ? It deviates from other campaign clasps for the Médaille Coloniale. All thoughts and opinions apprechiated. Kind regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odulf Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) According to "La Médaille coloniale - Guide du collectionneur" by Patric Binet (p.131), this particular type of casp for TONKIN was produced by Ferdinand Rottarch Edited November 14, 2014 by Odulf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I am afraid it is Mourgeon and not F. Rottarch. The pearls around the frame are typical Mourgeon's style, which makes easy identification. Titles are above the pictures in the book of Patrick Binet.

dedehansen Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Thanks to both of you for the fast reply. The clasp is the piece from the sergent Rinuldi group. Is it possible to date when it was awarded ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odulf Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) According to the same book, the clasp must have been produced after 1918. Edited November 14, 2014 by Odulf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
