„24 years [old] and already retired. H.H.”
Unusual text, but who would fake this sentence / engrave it later?

Thanks.
All the best,

No One,
You can disregard my request. I found the JOMSA article as a PDF.
Thank you.

Nevertheless, the medal bar shown has all the earmarks of the Schraegstich Faker's work. The medals are fake except for the EK2, FEK, and Long Service Cross. All the ribbons are modern except (strangely enough) the Colonial Denkmuenze ribbon. The case originally held medical or dental instruments of some kind.
...and the battle clasps, too.

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.

Here is a medal bar, which I assume is related to this Schrägstich Faker.

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

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

Gents,
I came across this ottoman tally, which I would identify as tally for the Midilli ex Imperial German Breslau.
Maybe somebody confirm the wonderful calligraphy?
Beside this, I’d like to know the purpose of this tally. Based on this ornamental “art”, it seems like this is not an official tally, but only given (sold?) as sweetheart tally or souvenir?
Does anybody have further information about these kind of tallies?
Thanks and br,

Thanks Nick!
According to her, her Great-granduncle was commanded on board of the SMS Prinzeß Wilhelm in China. Before he returned to Germany, he arranged some sweetheart tallies. His diary mentioned, that he asked his Chinese “Mafu” to “create” this tally. Later back in Germany, he bought a “Reservistenpaddel” (English?) and tied this tally to several others. Unfortunately, the “Paddel” was sold a couple of years ago and the former buyer untied this Chinese written tally.

Maybe for the locals? Or maybe a Chinese ship, serving for the German Gouvernment?
I agree with you, the writting looks terrible. But by own experience, I would say, this was written by a Chinese (not European, Chinese speaking/writting guy). My Japanese handwritting will be easily identified as "non-Japanese writter".
I found attached picture (courtesy of Chris Dale, http://www.germancolonialuniforms.co.uk/). Looks terrible as well, isn't it?

Now with this transcription I can see the kanji, thanks a lot mate!
Maybe some Chinese sailors under German command? Such as Hilfsseeleute (compare to the Chinese Leasehold Police under German command)?
I know this tally from a picture, but can‘t find it...
