bonjour à tous
afin d'aider un correspondant étranger, pouvez-vous répondre à sa question ?
pour ceux qui ne traduisent pas très bien, en gros pourquoi Chobillon a-t-il fabriqué pour les british ?
Hi, I recently purchased a very nice period "copy" WW1 British Military Cross in solid silver as a gap filler. After cleaning it I found the French "boars head" hallmark (.800 silver) on the cross and suspension bar, together with the maker mark AXC in a lozenge (Adrien Chobillon, Paris). Chobillon made a large number of medals, both civil and military from 1903 until sometime in the 1960s.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why a private french manufacturer might make a British MC award.
par avance, merci pour lui
cordialement
Didier
