Good evening!
Thanks once more for answer.
It's unusual for me, in Russia orders and medals are award, naturally, free of charge, and sometimes very expensive, because are made of gold and even from platinum. It expresses honour to the person.
As I know the Legion of Honour gives pension. Is the ministerial awards give any privileges or payments?

Best regards,
Victor.

Hello,

The pension is only for the Legion of Honour and Military Medal and the amount is very small (6€ by year for a knight...), nothing for the orders of merit. There are no real privileges.

I have collected soviet orders and still have an Order of Lenin in gold and platinium.

Hello!
Thanks, I learn a lot of new
Best regards,
Victor.

Hello!

Please, help me to define its manufacturer.

Best regards,
Victor.
