Hi!

I am looking for a copy of pages 40 to 44 of Edhem Eldem's book: “Pride and Privilege”, Istanbul, 2004, relating to the Sultan's Medal for Egypt (1801).
Thanks if you can provide me with this!

Hi David,

On september 28, 1813, Chernishev attacked Kassel. Despite a strong defense led by the old general von Schlieffe, the French had to withdraw by the road of Frankfurt. They will however retake the city on october 1813.

S I Think the one who will be governor of the city in september 1813 must be Chernishev.

Splendid! Congrats...

I find this one on Amazon

Very nice and typical crown of this first model!

Nice item.

I think it could be from the Napoleon III period, or even later.

Wonderful item !!! Thank you for sharing that!

Military Commander star ???

hello Blackcowboy,

Did you write me about this medal? If yes, I didn't received it.

Kind regards.

To compare:

Thanks for sending me a french translation of the letter of Eggeling.

I think also this award document is rare. An other one that was in the Prince of Monaco's collection  has been sold some years ago.

Valentin de Salha, Cte de Hoene, concillor of state, grand master of the Queen's Household, minister of the war (october 29, 1810); knight of the Order of the Crown (january 25, 1810), commander of the same order (january 15, 1811); count de Hohne (september 23, 1810; count of the French Empire (april 23,1812); french general; grand cross of the Order of the Two Sicilies, officer of the Légion d'Honneur (march 7, 1813).

The medal:

A nice certificate and the Medal of Honor for Friedrich Sächtling, "Musicant im Batallion der Jaeger Garde".  14 Marz 1813. (for the Russian campaign).

Thank you Blackcowboy! I hope you will found once the solution!

Than you. I had a doubt o knowing if the medal was a military (Guelfen-Medaille) or a civilan one, because it is no grade or unit indication.

Hello Blackcowboy and others.

Would like to know what you think about this medal and the recipient: « CARL HEINR.OPPERMANN »

The name ingraved is "IOH. IAEGER. 1 IAEG BT"

Wonderful cross!

Many thanks or this nice photo!

Thank you for this information.

I will try to order it.

No, I bought it in Germany in 2003.

Hello Blackcowboy, thanks for your feedback.

Referring to J. Nimmergut: "Deutsche Orden und Ehrenzeichen bis 1945. I.", the horse is an integral part of the medal and does not seam to be soldered. Perhaps a private manufacture? Would you have a photo of such an item?
