    1. Bonjour de France,

      pour la période, c'est le modèle de la 3° république, à partir de 1870, en 1951 le modèle est modifié et existe encore un peu plus tard avec le stock.

      le ruban a toujours été rouge pour la légion d'honneur.

      sur la queue a 6h, il s'agit probablement d'une tête de sanglier.

      le poinçon du fabricant doit se trouver a environ 9h sur l'anneau "AB & Cie" avec le dessin : une roue surmontée d'une étoile.

      cordialement, Pat

       

    2. hello from France,

      10 - the french clasp is not official on this médal

      11- j think tha's a modern (and bad) issue, a knight of the merite order of the Malaguasy republic.

      12 - that's a knight of the order of the star of the great comore island 

      13 - that's a sport medal of deutchland.

      sorry for my poor englich please 

      regards, pat66

    3. hello from France, 

      That's an original issue made by MARIE STUART house in Paris and named "modèle René", but that's no the model given by the "town of Verdun" and j think it was subsequently made than the "modèle VERNIER".

      Copie exist, but made with a verry bad quality in the design.

      regards, Patrick

       

    4. hello,

      TALABOT was (is?) known like french tool maker, especially (hammer, machete, knife for spécific works and others. The running zebra stamped was something like insigna because TALABOT export many many products in french black Africa.

    8. Hello from France,

      the first, is an insigna  of member of the U.N.C "Union Nationale des Combattant" founded in 1920, association created for grouping ancients soldiers.

      at time, j think it was the gratest society of ancients soldiers.

      the second was the Military Medal, enter 1870 and 1951. it's with 1870 in the bottom of the center and the more current model.

      scuse my english, Patrick

      A priori, all soldiers of the XX° corps can received this médal but just some a few part have receveid the médal  after a herself request. Some U.S. VIP have receive and also the flag of the XX° corps bear this médal.

       The requests ar'nt received after 1980.

      all the best. Patrick
