Olympic Games / Winter 1948 / Saint-Moritz - Lot 213
Olympic Games / Winter 1948 / Saint-Moritz
Rooster of the French team singing on the rings, Saint-Moritz 1948.
Brooch on back
Height: 2.5 cm
A very rare lot, as the French team only had 36 ambassadors: apart from the "monsters" Oreiller and Couttet, other names stand out: Désiré Lacroix (1927-2013). Among the ladies, the Thiollière sisters, Françoise Gignoux and Lucienne Schmitt-Couttet. Detail: on December 5, 2025, we'll be celebrating the centenary of the birth of Monsieur Henri Oreiller, and we're told that a philatelic issue is planned.
