Dear Mr. Windu ,

We already explained the characteristics in the above posts , it is very clear . My friend Mr. Joseph , attached very good pictures , an original and a fake together in the same photo which makes the subject to compare more easy and clear...

By the way Mr. Linas already sold his fake order on ebay. ..

Nearly i became guilty by starting this post...

Avsar Ibar

after i look closely on the picture, i just found that it is a fake according to characteristics given by mr. Avsar..

he is the experts on Turkey medal, no doubt about it!!

i hope next time mr.linas contact the experts before selling the medal..

sorry mr. linas, but please be gentle..

i can't imagine if i were the buyer..

regards,

windu

hi, i'm still amateur here and i don't know how to decide whether it's original or fake, but let's we finish it with gentleman's ways..

for the better of all let's communicate with better words..

Mr Linas, maybe you can add some more photo if you still in your position and you may go to the expert near your house and ask his opinion about your medal, so Mr Avsar and the other expert might see it to..

Mr. Avsar, please give us appropriate picture and describe the characteristics more detail to explain to Mr Linas and other viewer about your opinions..

And once again, please, with gentleman's way..

regards,

windu

The rarest Indonesian medal is bintang Garuda (Garuda Star), it awarded to people that in airforce service during 1945-1949..

I've been search it for months but i can't get it, even those real photo!!

i give 2 thums up to anyone who can find this medal..!!

i just can get the picture in: http://www.setneg.go.id/index.php?option=com_tandajasa&cat=13&Itemid=43

almost all of this are the classic mode, now the shape and material is little bit different..

many of your picture are belong police and some other of it from army( parawing, masterparawing)..

but i can't identificate some of them because i still an amateur enthusiast..

the 2nd class is very similar with the 3rd one, but different in ribbon..

a little story about this medal: this medal is awarded for very special person that have been 25years in naval duty, or a honourable person from navy, army, or defend ministry..

usually awarded to navy admiral, you are very lucky to get this item..

but the rarest medal from Indonesia is Bintang garuda (garuda star), it only awarded until 1950s, i have been search it, but it's very difficult to get, even just a real potrait of it..

i challenge everyone here to get it.. :)

little correction from me, it's a Jalasena Utama (1st class)..

the second class is not using neck ribbon..

a little story about bintang mahawira (bintang sakti)..

the last recipient is never saw it, he was died during the battle in Aceh..

his name was Lumbuan Tobing, an army NCO..

wow, nice thread..

i'm from Indonesia, i collecting some of them..
