ELamontagne Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hi all, I would like to add new pieces to my french medal and order collection and I'm looking for a good and honest online dealer. I had lived about 1 years in France and buy most of my stuff over there in antique shops, markets and none of the person I met had a website! So, if any of you can recommend me a good online source that will be very appreciate! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veteran Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) Hello Looking at the prices mentioned on the site suggested above, I would certainly recommend getting in touch with the French Gorvernment Mint which sells current French orders and decorations at good reference prices for brand new badges. The adress is : Administration des Monnaies et Médailles Quai de Conti F75005 PARIS FRANCE I would expect them to have sufficient commercial savy to receive and understand mail written in English. In fact, you might find their catalogue and prices (in French and in Euro) with the help of your favorite site-finder. Kindly keep us posted with the success of your efforts. Good luck and pleasant collectiong ! Regards Veteran Edited April 27, 2010 by Veteran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELamontagne Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 I also find those price very high and I have to said, something I should had mention on my first message, that I had no interest in buying a brand new decoration direct from the fabric because to me they have no historical value. Your tips to the Administration des Monnaies et Médailles may have been usefull if they had keep making some very old and almost impossible to find medals and orders...unfortunatly they don't! Just as a reference their website is : http://www.monnaiedeparis.fr I do not think I'll buy anything from them but their website will goes in my bookmarks for reference materials, so I thank you very much for that! As a matter of price its not better then the first website... As a exemple : Ordre des Palmes académiques Chevalier : Monnaie de Paris 65 euro Arthur Bertrand 64 euro Get lucky on ebay or at the free market in France : not more then 20-30 euro!!!

PKeating Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I have dealt with Robert Seniso a few times and find him very honest, charming and knowledgeable. http://www.seniso.com/accueil.aspx He has a stock not shown on his website - yet - and he is very approachable.
