France WW2 Order Combatant Merit Knight's Cross 1953 1963 Military Medal French Republic Decorarion Award by Muller

FRANCE:Order of Combatant’s Merit, Knight's 
Cross. Silver and enameled example.
Signed by Muller.
The Order was instituted in 1953, and was 
awarded to individuals who distinguished 
themselves through the effort of providing 
support to former combatants and victims 
of war. 
The award of the Knight’s Cross (which was 
limited to only 250 Knight’s Crosses per year) 
required that the recipients were at least 40 
years of age with at least fifteen years of 
service.
The Order was replaced in 1963 by the National 
Order of Merit.
Due to its limited numbers of issue and to the 
fact that it was issued for just 10 years, the 
Cross is very rare.
