    Recommended Posts

    Dear all,

     

    With one haul of medals and badges that i picked up is as well French Medaille Coloniale with Maroc and Sahara clasps. Can someone help me with these silver stamps on the clasps please?

    I assume these are all pre WW2 manufactured?

    Hi Noor,

     

    Both bars show the maker's mark of Adrien Chobillon (i.e. manufactured between 1905-1979) and the boar's head for being in silver. They are likely to be pre-WW2 (1920's or 30's would be a good guess) although the Sahara bar was awarded for actions as late as 1949.

    The medal's reverse bears the Paris Mint mark with "2" indicating 2nd class silver (,800 silver content). This type of medal was awarded between 1914 and 1962 ...

     

    Regards,

    Hendrik
