<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2469705, member: 39&quot;]Cannot help you with the Liberty side, sorry. According to <a href="http://www.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/camt/fr/egf/donnees_efg/46_AQ/46_AQ_FICHE.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/camt/fr/egf/donnees_efg/46_AQ/46_AQ_FICHE.html" rel="nofollow">this page</a>, such insurance companies were established (again) in 1816, e.g. a marine insurance. That company set up this fire insurance branch, later also life insurance and others.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the &quot;signatures&quot;, Oscar Roty is well known for his Semeuse (Sower) design. The other signature refers to <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphonse_Desaide" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphonse_Desaide" rel="nofollow">Alphonse Desaide</a> who was apparently active until 1903. And this <a href="http://www.photo.rmn.fr/archive/13-509730-2C6NU0RM51SE.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.photo.rmn.fr/archive/13-509730-2C6NU0RM51SE.html" rel="nofollow">museum page</a> provides the date 1887 for the depicted (one sided) medal. Good idea, I&#039;d say. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
