ccj Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Does anyone have other interesting CdG with unusual combinations of palms and stars or silver crosses? I have seen a gilt cross, have others seen gilt versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hi, is it real silver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 I do believe so, it's good quality. The little things, don't know name, connecting the ball on top to the upper arm of the cross is nicely detailed. I haven't found silver mark yet but haven't looked too close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunneller Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Here is my silver 1918 Jim Some diplomas Jim Some of my CDG collection, all 14-18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Very nice, is your silver CdG marked? I don't see maker on mine but it's silver and high quality and detailed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunneller Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Yes, it is marked with the Sanglier just under the boule. I have 1916 and 1917 examples also and the Sanglier is difficult to find on those. I`m pleased to find another CDG collector. Your collection is excellent. I love the paperwork that goes with these more than the medal to be honest Jim This is my most prized CDG. Awarded to Lt later Captain Robert Circan 18 RI. I have a number of his diplomas as well as his CDG. He died of wounds 29th March 1918 Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunneller Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Chris, This is as good as I can get of the citation. I believe this is Mangins signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Terrific documents. I've been searching for a good looking one for my wall Here are closer images of my Silver CdG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 I don't see a punch on the cross under the suspension ball. It's very ornate in this area but I don't make out any marks. I haven't seen a mark on other areas but not sure the French ever marked crosses anywhere else. ill ll try to take better photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunneller Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Have you had a really close examination of the whole cross? The Sanglier stamp is extremely small. I have no doubt there are individuals on the forum who know this issue far better than I. The Sanglier stamp I am informed is from the Paris mint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunneller Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Here is my 1917 with the Sanglier just visible This 1916 is in vermeil but you can see the mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunneller Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Some more diplomas. The first one is signed by General Maud-Huy. Forgive the glare, the certificates are in acid free pockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Impressive to say the least. Those are top quality docs i looked at my CdG in Silver and it does have the mark. Hard to see and harder to photograph. Hopefully it's viewable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
