PKeating Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Bargains can still be found. I saw this in the display case of a local junk shop - brocante - amongst all the worthless old coins, broken wristwatches and worn out penknives. Walked away with it for €5.00.

larsb001 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Someone really liked this miniature and wore it alot. Congratulations! Did you notice it's the French type (pure anarchy, many odd variations) which differs alot in the suspension from the British type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKeating Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Yes, indeed! I bought it here in Paris and it was immediately obvious that it was of French origin, because of its size. It is much smaller than the British miniature. Yours is very nice! Can we see the whole set? Regards, PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larsb001 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hi PK. Of course you knew, just notished you listed it under "France". I'd rather show you another French type which I keep in my collection, enjoy! Regards, Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKeating Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 That is extraordinary! I have never seen anything quite like that, with the large battle clasps on the one-piece tri-riband. Thank you for showing us. PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 whoa-now that is interesting. NOT a naval officer? What French units were at Alma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
