Legion D'Honneur ask for help

[PREM]

Hi ! I have an urgent question. Well, my colleague wants to sell me the Legion of Honor in gold. I don't know enough about the Order of the Legion of Honor, so I know if it is worth around 1,300 Euro. That's a lot of money, a friend is in need. Can this order be priced and pre-qualified based on the photos? it's probably the Third Republic .. I will be grateful

Hello from France j'm not sure that's a gold model, for this : there's an eagle head at 6 o clock or on the ring, if it's a boar head, that's golden silver . 1.300€ j'm afraid about this price, are you sure that's a good friend. 

Pat, with my approximately english.

Hi PREM,

100% sure this is not a gold one It is Silver gilded It is nice and the correct price will be 250-300 EURO

Even if it is Gold the price will not be so high More likely in the range of 600-700 EURO.

Always be on alert if someone sells very urgently It is alarm bell ringing loudly

Here  is  LOH in gold Compare with your friend LOH

 

Sorry.
