    4. Hello Albert, The first two books cover all the orders and medals and the last one mentioned in that thread about TWM is giving all the info needed about the Turkish War Medal and Avşar's book is explaining whatever you need to know about two orders, Medjidie abd Osmanie. So to answer your question; yes I think it will be enough. Best wishes Demir

    8. A new book by AVŞAR IBAR: OTTOMAN EMPIRE’S ORDER OF THE MEDJIDIE AND ORDER OF THE OSMANIE There is a new writer in the Group. Our member AVŞAR IBAR (A well known expert on these two Orders) has written, in Turkish and English, a book on the Medjidie and Osmanie Orders, and very recently published and on sale. It is a 208 pages, hard cover book with glossy paper, 17 x 24.5 cm and only 300 pieces (numbered). I received the book today and immediately read and loved it. Although there were several books published before about the Ottoman Turkish Medals and Orders, this is a book that covers only Medjidie and Osmanie Orders. Perfect explanations and history of both Orders. He gave pictured examples of 5 classes of Medjidie and 4 classes of Osmanie breast stars and orders. There are also pictures of the boxes and a section for the fakes. Also most importantly there are the samples of foreign made Orders by French, German and Austrian makers, even an Italian maker. The book itself is a collector item, since it is only 300 pieces. I strongly recommend the book to our fellow collectors. Thank you very much Avşar for writing such a book, a big contribution to our community and explaining all the facts about the two Orders.

    11. Hi, I recently bought this beautifully made red enamel TWM pin made by A.H. Schemtob Constantinople. The pin is either for a lapel or a hat with a loop buttonhole for stiching. The design in the enamel looks like J.H.Werner style, star in the middle under the tougra and rays at the arms, it is is more visible on the pin without enamel. Regards Demir PS: There was another one (which I did not buy) without enamel. (see picture)
    12. The medal on the top left is the Turkish War Medal which was established in 1915 for the Turkish and allied troops who showed gallantry and merit in the War. Regards Demir

You said: " only the 2 Ottoman original types and all German/Austrian pieces manufactured from 1915 to 1919 are the real original ones." What are the two original types, can you post their photos?
