France Ordre du M?rite Militaire (1957 - 1963) - Commandeur

[KDVR]

Dear friends

I got that "Ordre du M?rite Militaire" but I don't have an idea of its value. Is there someone who can tell me more about it? This decoration was awarded between 1957 and abolished in 1963.

Thank you and best wishes

This is a good award, especially when made in silver gilt.

French collectors are, quite rightly, becoming addicts to the group of ministries/ government departments awards such as this one - which was awarded for continuous and exemplary services with the Reserves in all three Services. Like the British TD with several bars -for a commander such as this one.

They sometimes come up at auction and I would expect 200 Euro as a minimum and as much as 350/400 if the bidding was particularly active.
