Weapons of Honor

Weapons of Honor (French: Armes d'honneur) are ceremonial weapons awarded for service or assistance to France. Established on December 25, 1799 and issued by the French Consulate, weapons of honor were awarded as military awards for feats of arms. The civilian version of this distinction is the scarf of honor (l'écharpe d'honneur).
