They both look good too me.

The L?gion d'honneur looks to be the 'July Monarchy' (1830-1848). Maybe a non officer version.

The fish have an oriental dragon look to them.

I read that they found the items in a box out in a parking lot. :banger:

While searching I found this old article of some missing items.

DALLAS (Nov. 30, 2007) -- The Dallas Historical Society (DHS) is seeking information leading to the return of 21 items from its permanent collection that were removed from the Hall of State in Fair Park recently. DHS officials are cooperating with a Dallas Police Department investigation.

The items include historic photographs, documents and artifacts relating to the very earliest days of the Texas Republic and the history of Dallas. They include a pair of spurs confiscated from the tent of Gen. Antonio L?pez de Santa Anna and later presented by Gen. Sam Houston to a friend after the 1836 Battle of San Jacinto near Houston where Texas won its independence from Mexico.

The society is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the collection's return. Anyone with information should call CrimeStoppers at 1-877-373-TIPS (8477) or any police department.

DHS Executive Director Michael Duty said, "Our primary and overriding concern is the safe return of these objects. They are extremely significant to the history of Texas and Dallas. Many are literally unique items and are irreplaceable. We consider these items to be essential to the fulfillment of our mission, and we are doing all we can to assure their safe return. We are contacting a wide range of galleries, museums, auction houses, antique and antiquity dealers, and private collectors with detailed information and photographs of the missing objects."

A review of collection records and a search of storage areas as well as the entire Hall of State have not turned up any other missing items. Missing are:

Spurs -- Mexican President Santa Anna's brass dress spurs recovered after the Battle of San Jacinto, gifted by Gen. Sam Houston to his friend H. L. Garland. Very good condition. Engraved "H. L. Garland From his Friend Sam Houston."

a.. Paperweight -- Santa Anna's desk paperweight recovered after the Battle of San Jacinto. Brass, patinated, a reposed fawn on a rectangular block.

a.. Candlestick holder -- Tin, handheld. Tin has rusted. Santa Anna's candlestick holder recovered after the Battle of San Jacinto.

a.. Mexican Medal of Honor -- Silver, 1836. Sometimes called the Santa Anna Cross, consisting of an eagle holding cross, with six red enamel radiants, reads on the back "Al Valor Acreditado en Texas," on the front "Al Merito 1836."

Marshal Andre Massena

(1758-1817)

In bivouac on Lobau Island, Vienna, May 26, 1809. Massena writes to Emperor Napoleon, ?request Your Imperial and Royal Majesty to reward the officers of my staff who distinguished themselves in the battle of the 21st and 22nd. For Colonel St. Croix, my aide-de-camp, the officer?s cross?? and for his other aides-de-camp ?Lieutenant Renique?the rank of Captain / for Lieutenant Porcher?the rank of Captain, for Lieutenant Massena?the Legionnaire?s cross??, as well as promotions and medals for a number of other officers.

Marshal Pierre-Francois-Charles Augereau

(1757-1816)

1st of May 1807

After the campaign of Franconie, His Majesty deigned to make me hope to give a sabre d? honneur to the Chef d?Escadron Larrieu for the cleverness and bravery he had shown in several occasions, but this young officer left for another army and he did not obtain this distinction. He has since then ever been waging war, and General Verdier, whose Aide-de-Camp he is, gives an excellent testimony of his services. He?s going to the Grande Arm?e and has let me known his desire to get the officer cross of the L?gion d?honneur. As he has got real titles to my esteem, I cannot, Monseigneur, refuse to recommend him to your Highness?s benevolance.
