    1. Just received the book "the Turkish War Medal" by Demir Erman and was rather impressed with his work. I collect Turkish war medals, but had been put off by the lack of reference material on the subject. The book is a solf covered one and rather inexpensive but the author has put his heart and soul into the effort. Quite a bit of background material on the turkish military establishment and the thought that went into establishing the medal. Good sections on the comparison of the turkish medal to the German and Austrian variations, the packaging of the medal, and the various award certificates. Definitely gives the beginner collector a basis to begin his colllection in an intelligent manner at a low investment price. Well recommended for the money.

    2. I bought it on the spur of the moment for a very modest sum - once I got into reading it and seeing the vast detail, I quite frankly have been overcome by the quality of the book. I'm going to keep it and was just wondering how rare they were and what it should be insured for.

    3. Found a Nicholas II Wedding Table Medal in the original presentation box - medal is the large silver variation (lg gold, small gold, large silver and small silver) and is the type presented to guests at the wedding. Both the medal and presentation box are in perfect (mint) condition. Anyone have any idea what the medal is worth these days ?

    4. Have a Nicholas II Wedding Album that has decended down my family line to myself. The album is in the French language version and was given (awarded) to distinguished guests at the wedding. The album is magnificent, complete and in absolutely mint condition. Have found many references to it in Russian Imperial reference books but cannot ascertain what a valuation might be for insurance purposes. Any help from the members would be deeply appreciated.
