Sergio Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hello Gents! Please, help me to identify the time period of this type of LoH's crown with a trefoil on the top. This award - a hybrid with medallions of the 2-nd Empire, but I've never seen the same crown before. Thanks in advance :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hi Sergio, There is a Medal of Honor from the Second Restoration period with same trefoil top on the crown. However the medallion has King Henri IV rather than Napoleon. http://www.klm-mra.be/klm-new/engels/collecties/OMD-LDH/croix_frame.html Regards, Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are lilies, not trefoil on the LoH from the Second Restoration! Edited March 10, 2011 by Sergio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Just compare them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I agree, they do look different. I would suggest contacting Bison a member of GMIC. He seems to be an expert on LOH. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/user/2068-bison/ and the French site http://www.forum-insignes-medailles.net. The French site has many experts on LOH as well. Best Wishes, Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Hi It is a crown of the King Louis-Philippe period. It is not a trefoil, but a "fleuron" (a sort of flower) in French. Usually, the crowns of this period don't have this kind of ornament at the top. This kind of crowns with that kind of cross-like "fleuron" have been reported sometimes.
