    Sorry for the spoilers in this, it is so rare I do not want to see it being "sold" elsewhere.... when the Legion was formed in 1831, this gentleman was one of the first to join. I think he was in the Regiment Hohenlohe before as he was "Sgt Major just 3 months after joining the legion, demoted to Sgt a few months after that. The 3rd battalion was the first legion unit ever to engage the enemy. Back them the contract was 3 years, he left after three years... a real collection crown jewel for me, his end of contract good conduct discharge

    Wow! Pretty amazing that it has survived. I am not surprised that you want to hang on to it! Quite an important part of Legion history.

     

    Have you discovered why he got demoted to sergeant? Must be some story behind that.
