Commander's badge of the Legion of Honour, Second Empire. With a more recent neck ribbon, but of the correct pattern.
The decoration is indeed Second Empire, but the center is not made of gold!
This type of piece—without a gold center—was indeed manufactured, though it is rarer than the gold-centered versions.
From a collector's standpoint, it ought to be more valuable; however, the absence of gold reduces the price compared to the €1,200–€1,500 range commanded by the gold-centered version.
It measures 60 mm in diameter.
We have paired it with a more modern ribbon, though it is the correct style for the piece.
Beautiful craftsmanship; in good condition, save for minor enamel repairs that are virtually invisible to the naked eye.
The design is very close to that of the First Empire; the bow beneath the laurel wreath tie is nearly identical to the First Empire version.
Only the small eagles on the wreath mark a significant difference.
Only one example in stock.
