Noor Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hi all, Usually I am not very mad about these little unofficial civilian dress decorations but this one some how just was something what I start loving more and more after I received the picture... Anyway, here it is now in my humble collection, my very first French boutonnière with: - Médaille militaire (Military Medal) - Médaille de l'expédition du Mexique. 1862 – 1863 (Mexico Expedition Medal 1862 – 1863) So, how common these are? I especially like this one because Mexico ribbon what I just love now (must find full size medal one good day as well maybe). Any comments and extra info would be great! All the best, Timo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 The Mexico ribbon would have made me snatch this up too, Noor! Well done. How do you keep finding these neat little treasures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veteran Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Very unusual and typical of the period (second half of 1800s) A nice addition to collection of the Napoleonic period. Congratulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
