Question about the French Legion of Honour (all types): https://www.medalbook.com/europe/france/historical-france/first-empire-1800-1813/orders/order-of-the-legion-of-honour
Can someone tell me the rarity of the different types? Are there any still out there from the storming of the Bastille?
Hi @Tassie86!
As far as I know, there is a completed collection of the Legion insignia of the former Regimes in the Museum of the Légion d'honneur, Paris. They are accompanied by paintings and engravings related to the Legion. If you want to check, here is the link: https://www.legiondhonneur.fr/en/rubriques/legion-honor/402/1
Thanks! I will check that out.
It was cool to see the different grades of the LOH in the collectors tools block. There seem to be a large number out there, I'm surprised it's still so prestigious.
