Cased french award??

[Tim B.]

Hi,

Same results for me. Are you using a web hosting service or posting these PICS directly to the forum here?

I am posting the photos right here on the forum, doing as i always does.
*Manage Attachments, then i upload the photos direct from my mac.

[Tim B.]

Umm, that's odd. I have seen this problem before but, the reason was the poster was using an outside web host to upload the PICS; some could see them while others could not.

I have no problems viewing any other threads thus far over the last 4-5 days; just this one?

Hi Jon,

I sent an email reply already, but will add here:

Based on the PICS you sent me, the medal is a French Knights Class Legion of Honor (3rd Republic) in what appears to be a Belgian case (Wolfers of Brussels was a major dealer) for an Order of the Crown.

The Leopold II motif tells me that the case is circa early 1900's. The crown tells me its probably for a Crown Order, though the Order of Leopold II also had a crown on the box as well.

I can't tell by the PICS, but it appears the center is inlaid where the medal sits and IMO, would fit the Crown Order perfectly.

Here's what a Crown Order would look like:
