    1. hisashi buri desu... What do you guy think about this case? Medals looks polished (?), battle clasp upside down. BR, Chris
    2. „24 years [old] and already retired. H.H.” Unusual text, but who would fake this sentence / engrave it later? BR, Chris
    3. Gents, Sadly said, that this origin showed medal bar received two tranformations: Originally, it had no battle clasp and contained the non-combat medal of “Deutsch Südwest”. Hopefully, the current owner is registered here and see this obvious fraud?! BR, Chris
    4. Hi Tracy! Where? Would love to read the article, too. BR, Chris
    5. This one is already known to the market for a couple of years. I remember it was offered to me four or five years ago. BR, Chris
    6. Seltene Ordensspange - 1. WK + Kolonien Gefechtsspange Samoa 1888 Orden | eBay Here is a medal bar, which I assume is related to this Schrägstich Faker. BR, Chris

      blank TWM

      Gents, Thanks for this interesting developing! Although it didn't answer my question, I found it as a good lesson! I am not sure, if "my" piece shown is a private purchased one or a heavy worn version, while losing the enamel or painting. One Turkish collector mentioned, that this could be a “unofficial” Turkish made version for the daily wear, while the official (enamelled / painted) stayed “at home”. Well, I do basically could hardly believe this comment, as I would expected more pictures / pieces. But on the other hand, I have no counter-argument I guess, it'll stay a mystery… Thanks and regards, Chris

      blank TWM

      Gents, Does anybody know a “blank” TWM? I have a picture detail of an estate, which was divided a couple of years ago. There was a Gallipoli Star, which has no signs of colouring and / or enamel. Based on this (poor) picture, I cannot see any remaining. So I guess, there was never any other surface as blank. I heard several rumours, that these parts were made for the “daily wear”, as anybody expected to damage any pieces while in wear. I cannot confirm this, nor find any other explanation. Unfortunately, this is the only image I can show. I would appreciate, if anybody has some ideas or thoughts. Thanks and br, Chris
    9. Thanks a lot! I knew this sites, but also looking for some books, etc. BR, Chris
    10. Gents, Is there any recommendations about the Japanese Fire Department, such as history, organisation, etc? Thanks in advance and br, Chris
    11. I tried to "play" with the quality of the tally. Hopefully, somebody can help with identification? Thanks and br, Chris
