A note from BCD: Two fixed price lists bound together; one was issued before and one after WWII. This renowned Parisian company still operates from the same address but under new owners and today there is little to remind the visitor of its glorious past. In addition to the ancients the second list included modern coins, tokens, medals and antiquities. Two certain forgeries and some other suspicious items give the impression that this second list was also an attempt to "unload" "doubtful" and undesirable coins to unsuspecting buyers.
