His version = Note wrong legion of honour (Imperial Eagle instead of Napoleon's Face)
My version
His version = Note wrong legion of honour (Imperial Eagle instead of Napoleon's Face)
Both of Miguillen's versions are also of lesser quality. Adelbrecht (talk) 21:04, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Regarding the coat of Joseph Bonaparte can say that this is made pursuant to a written source which describes the collar of the Legion of Honour. As the royal decree that established it

In this case there is a clear written sources define this shield at least as it was interpreted that medal in this case as everything else is original research. Greetings.Miguillen (talk) 00:01, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
I guess your source is wrong, Miguillen. The bottom right part of the shield is wrong in all versions, according to your source. And your versions still are of lower quality. Adelbrecht (talk) 06:51, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
The source is correct since it reproduces the decree. Keep in mind that one thing are the original versions and other reproduction heraldry and possibly multiple variants is that medal. The quality can only be measured based on the resolution and both are in svg format or the quality and proportion of the figures in this case there is no difference. There are only differences in the colors used and the use of shadow relief effect that contravenes the rules and heraldic tradition of medieval art, without breaking the uniformity of all designs.Miguillen (talk) 11:53, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
It's possible that this is an official decree, but even then the Legion d'Honneur is wrong. It's very strange that the rear of the order is shown instead of the front. The "relief" effect is not against the "rules", and I've given a link to examples on your talk page. Adelbrecht (talk) 16:08, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
The mechanical translation to English has numerous errors; would it be worthwhile to correct them? —Tamfang (talk) 17:31, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
