Interesting to see a 1939-1940 cross with this fantasy ribbon (made for wear as a ribbon bar only...).

"President of the Croix de Guerre!" Wow... What an honor!

Does it come with a dunce cap? Perhaps a pistol with a single bullet for the buyer to increase the average IQ of the planet?

Seen by fellow collectors on another website than eBay :

Sold as a "Combatant Cross upgraded by a jeweller for a general"... :mrgreen:

I like the precision settlement of the red stone...

I could understand a dishonest person slapping an older central medallion on a modern order, but a modern medallion on an old order makes no sense whatsoever! Especially when taking into consideration that a fitting medallion can usually quite easily be found
