Hello,
This is not my collection field, but this piece I liked and it was not expensive,
Someone could tell me what period it is.
Very grateful, as always

And if someone thinks it's a copy, your opinion will also be well received

Hi,

 

The Order is OK It looks Original

It is a Knight Class from the Presidency Period  A very short period from 1848-1852 It is relatively rare model It is a pity it is damaged, however still attractive  Orders from this period in a perfect condition attract good price If you paid around 200 Euro or less You have done well

 

The Order is made of Silver You can see the French mark for silver at the bottom of the cross  - "boar head" typical mark for this period

 

The red cloth inside the crown was added at some stage to make more attractive/dramatic look Usually a piece of ribbon is used  You can get easily a ribbon for the order It is the same colour as the piece of cloth inside the crown

 

Best
