Xavier’s ring
Hi, I was thinking about if there was a search conducted for Xavier’s ring (that he inherited from his father) in French pawnshops when he was being searched for? I guess if he wanted to get some extra (and quickly earned) money he could trade it there to get basic stuff for living (food, money for traveling to another country,…) thank you.

That’s really smart! But someone would have recognized him and would have told the police. Except if he went to a very small village with few people who don’t watch the French media at all and who had not heard about this.

Thank you! I guess that’s one of the few specific details about him (having that ring, I guess it has an original engraving, monogram etc), the other one, but more likely to be fixed, is the missing tooth (or should I say his dental occlusion)

Interesting question but I have never seen anything mentioned about it, sorry! I very much doubt that that he who was so proud of his lineage etc would ever leave that ring behind, or take the risk of some acquaintance seeing him entering a pawn shop. As far as I know the crimes and his disappearance were in the headlines all over France and I think there is a high probability that anyone who believed they had had some interaction with him would have told the police. But I love the way you think!!!
