Hello Herl?

The breast star of a Grand Cross of the Legion of honor would have been worn on the left side of his tunic. Grand officers wear it on the right side as the threaded arrangements suggest.

Naturally this does not mean that this officer was not a grand cross, as his ribbon bar would also suggests. He might have some other device on the right side and not have removed the arrangement he previously had, since the French system of awards makes it a rule that you have to move up every step within a same order.

Quite a mind-teeser.
