<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 327233, member: 5833&quot;]Was looking through <a href="https://www.emedals.com/europe/france/orders/?p=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.emedals.com/europe/france/orders/?p=1" rel="nofollow">emedals</a> for French order badges/medals.&nbsp; Looks as though the one for the Order of St. Louis is the only one with a fleur de lis (makes sense, flower of Louis) below the suspension ring &amp; overall the one most like the one under discussion.&nbsp; If they confine themselves to militaria &amp; this is a strictly religious piece, would not expect to find a match.&nbsp; All the crosses &amp; most of the stars have something else between the arms/rays; fleurs de lis in the case of the Order of St. Louis.&nbsp; Every one I looked at in detail has a definite obverse &amp; reverse, as well as writing on at least one side.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rashit&#039;s medal seems like sort of a stripped down St. Louis medal.&nbsp; If you cut the blue border off Louis as he appears on the Order&#039;s medal, you would get something similar to the center of this one, with shorter crown &amp; missing hands, although he&#039;d have to get out of his armor &amp; into his civvies.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]109234[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
