claudiupripisi Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Hello, I mainly collect Romanian Orders and Medals, recently I bought this order. I bought this order so I can put it to my Independence War 1877/78 medal display. Is it from the same period or later? I know this order was issued till 1920's.

avsaribar Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Hello Dear Clasiupripisi , That is a very beautiful Medjidie Breast Star but unfortunately it is not related with the 1877 - 78 Russian Turkish War . ( As far as i know , in Romanian Historiography it is Independence War ) . You need an older type ( But newer then the Crimean Type … : ) Medjidie Order . Because this Medjidie Star Type ( I tried to explain them very clearly in my book .. ) is one of the last type of Medjidie Orders which are made between the end of 19th century and the beginnings of the 20th century untill the end of the Empire which are also made in Turkish Mint . ( Darphane-i Amire ) A small tip ; they are the types of Medjidie orders that came with the paperboard boxes .. not velvet … And also their mint marks on reverse is slightly different then the former Medjidie examples .. Hope it helps .. Avsar IBAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daffy Duck Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Is there, by any chance possiblity to find out a bit more about this specific piece, e.g. time of production, region of manufacture, etc. I suppose it's a genuine one, and most probably IV class. Unfortunately, I know so little about Osmanic orders and medals, although I am from Serbia, where there are not so uncommon to find on the photos from late XIX century...

Daffy Duck Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) I finally got received this order. Here are much better pictures. Quite surprisingly, it's without any markings on the body, but on the ring only one makers mark could be found. There are no markings for precious metals, and the main body is definitely made of silver. Any clue who produced it? I can only read "CB" with the crown between the letters. I have seen a similar piece on Emedals, but unfortunately without any information about the producer. Edited April 13, 2023 by Daffy Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
