French Bronze Medal of Honor with Silk Ribbon – RARE as it is named to E. Viguier - Dated 1938
This rare and desirable French Bronze Medal of Honor is a named example awarded to E. Viguier and dated 1938. The medal is suspended from its original silk tricolor ribbon and presents in strong condition. The obverse features the effigy of the French Republic with the inscription "REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE", while the reverse bears the engraved recipient name and date, adding significant historical and personal context.
The Médaille d'Honneur du Travail is a state decoration bestowed by the French Republic in recognition of long service and professional achievement. Issued in bronze, silver, or gold depending on years of service, named examples provide a tangible link to individual careers and pre-war French civil life. Awards dated just prior to the outbreak of the Second World War carry added historical weight, representing the final years of peacetime recognition before national mobilization.
Named French medals with intact ribbons are increasingly scarce, particularly pre-war examples with clear engraving. This medal offers collectors a refined and personal artifact of French state honors, combining aesthetic appeal with documented individual attribution, and stands as a compelling addition to any collection of European orders and decorations.
