Citation for RS

Judging by this tags this group had "museum provenance"

Interesting group that was sold about six-seven months ago. Red star + posthumous Red Banner RS

Interesting that decal image of order in the document still has paulownia leaf directly affixed to the sun medallion

Clevis mounting is already in place

Another time coordinate Doc that was issued in 1878

Reverse

Yes Steve, all these badges (post #209, post # 228, etc) were made by the same manufacturer and come in two colors - gold and silver. Yes, these are from the different camp than "flat pin" badges. The only question - where this camp is located. In safe green zone of original badges or red one that is full of fakes. Too many strange features these badges have Weight Material Size Star Color of wings (whats up with this gold wings?!) + Personally I've never seen inscribed badges of this type and this is quite strange (especially since we saw more than two badges of this type even in this thread) + We know for a fact (because of inscribed badges) that classical "bronze" badges were in use (at least) until 1943.

Looks nice Steve!

Thanks for additional photos! Nice marked 4th class from 1900s-1910s. Cheers, Nick

Nice badge Mickey! 100% original ;)

Of course it is Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur
