France Grand Cross Star of LOH First Empire

[Graf]

Hi,

I would like to start new topic regarding this New Reproduction of the First Empire Grand Cross Star.

I did not list it in the ongoing topic regarding the First Empire LOH, since I did not feel it belongs there.

This Star appeared on EBay France not long ago. The Dealer claimed that it came from a recent French movie set.

He sold few Stars, not only LOH, on very reasonable prices.

Since then I have seen this Star to be sold for as much as 1600 EURO on EBay France, and for around US$ 800 on EBay USA.

Currently is for sale/auction on EBay France with starting price 525 EURO.

Any idea about the origin of this Star and what could be the collector"s and market value.

Regards

Graf
