French medal General Ferrie by Marey (1968)

Description

Very fine medal commemorating Gustave-Auguste Ferrié (1868-1932), who was a French radio pioneer and army general. The obverse is obviously based on an old design, and the medal was reissued for the 100th anniversary of Ferrié.
Interesting for all collectors of war or military memorabilia.

Shipping time from Germany to USA and Canada is currently impacted by the lack of air traffic between Europe and the USA. Therefore DHL and Deutsche Post may in some cases do the transport by ocean, which may result in higher shipping times.

I am currently reorganizing my collection of Art Nouveau and Art Deco medals and plaquettes, mainly from France. Over the next weeks, I will regularly put on sale medals of prominent medal artists.
If you are interested in medals of that period, I would like to recommend the book 'French medallic art 1870-1940', which I published in 2010.
