Tim B Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hi Sergio, You may need to take a real close look and some enlarged PIC's of the area shown in post #6 for starters. These marks are hard to identify as it is and large, detailed PIC's are necessary. Here's a couple of links that might be of some help: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/44224-french-makers-marks-hallmarks-guarantee-stamps/ http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/35662-legion-of-honor-officer/ http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/44171-legion-of-honor-knight/ Tim :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already seen that links, but still can't ID my LoH. Here's some scans, but marks are too deep and it's hard for me to see something. The general question - is the period. Is it WWI / post WWI ore WWII / post WWII production? BR :beer: Edited February 19, 2011 by Sergio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim B Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hi Sergio, Hard to say exactly but, clearly 3rd Republic, which would cover all three periods you're asking about up till around 1951/1952 timeframe. I would say the center mark in post #15 is the "boar's head" for silver content but impossible to really make out the others with these PIC's. It looks to be a very nicely made and conditioned example! Congrats!! Tim :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This award is a part of a big and old collection of LoH ordens which consist of over 70 items of different manufacturers and different periods. I have a possibility to choose any of them (III Republic), as the price is identical. The field of my interests is the WWI period, therefore I want to buy some more LoH of this time, but dont know how to chose WWI-ordens.

Sergio Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Another luxury LoH-Officer, which I've bought today. It's really hard to choose one exelent orden from dozens exelent LoH awards in different variants It seems to me, that the second one is better than the first one, I showed above. Here it is .
