<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 325071, member: 5833&quot;]Is it gold, solid gold?&nbsp; You have not told us this before.&nbsp; Without marks, how was the type &amp; quality of the metal determined?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The emedals.com site seemed like a good starter reference, so took a look at their 99 examples of the Legion d&#039;Honneur medals.&nbsp; Did not look closely at every single one, focused on the oldest I could find.&nbsp; Napoleon started it in 1802, so particularly examined medals for 1806 &amp; 1804, earliest I could spot.&nbsp; Every one I looked at is different on the front than on the back; most have a medallion of Napoleon at the center; none use enamel in the center; none are constructed like this, with 2 round medals sandwiching the star.&nbsp; Whatever this is, it&#039;s not what the seller represented it as.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
