Legion of Honor

Hello

 

I was wondering if someone can help with this order. It looks like the medallion with the kings' profile has been replaced with one with the flags. But the flag's colors are in the wrong order. The medallion looks original with no enamel repairs. Could there be an explanation for this, error in the manufacturing doesn't sound right.

 

Thank you

Hi Welcome to the Club,

 

Very likely the front medallion was lost and who ever repaired the Orders attached what he had in hand

Those medallions get detached/lost quite often, since they are hold in place only by a stiky wax

 

On close inspection, in my opinion the blue and the white colours central medallion were re-enameled and they made a mistake The white enamel of the cross also was repaired
