TacHel Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) I recently acquired this silver honour medal for aeronautics and as I was reading the recipient's name it reminded me of my favourite TV show when I was much much younger... I was slowly reading the recipient's name "L - A - V- E - R - D..." By now I'm thinking "NO WAY!" But it ended with "I - N"... Awwww... Francophones will know what I'm talking about...

TacHel Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 Was it translated in English Megs? Or did you watch the original version?

Stuka f Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I recently acquired this silver honour medal for aeronautics and as I was reading the recipient's name it reminded me of my favourite TV show when I was much much younger...

Must have been 1969 ! We were in Paris back then for 7 months.... Nounours and Pipiou (on a toujours besoin d'un plus pettit que soit!).... Nice medal btw!! cheers |<ris
Bison Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Nice attribution ! We are some few collectors in France tracking the 'funny' attributions on medals... I have a labour medal attributed to Mr Jesus.C. for example... Or a railways medal attributed to Mr Barjot (Mad man) A friend of mine has the same railways medal attributed to Mr Wagon (Mr Coach)! Another has a police service medal to Mr Mesrine (public enemy nr 1 in the 80s)... And so on... A true subject for collection and fun. Edited February 5, 2014 by Bison
