Komutan , Senin Türk Müharibə Medal çox yaxşı bir nümunədir. Istanbuldan Hörmetle ...

Just for an information ; The style of the Toughras on the Ottoman silverware and the official / classic style of Toughras of the Sultans are far away different !

Hi Paul , I do not have but i will try to find them for you . As soon as i'll find , will send you an email . Best , Avs

Hi Paul , I do not have but i will try to find them for you . Best , Avs

You can not read from that stupid cast ( Specially , a language like Ottoman !! ) but %95 it is written there Kaiser Wilhelm .... )

Hello , Yes , it is Sultan 2nd Abdulhamid Tughra . The small one is sah ( Silver Purity stamp ) and the zig zag mark , we call as ceshni , they take the silver dust sample from there . Avsar Ibar

Hello Stormbringer , This medal was estanlished in 1912 but before the 1st Balkan war starts , i mean the medal established in 28 August 1912 but the Balkan war starts in 8 October 1912 . It is not definitely mentioned as Hamidiye battleship , maybe it is but can be a general image from Ottoman navy . As there is a special another medal for Hamidiye battleship . About the writing on the medal in English ; There is the Tughra of the Sultan 5th Mehmed ( Reshad ) under it the date of the medal established and on the reverse the picture of a battleship from Ottoman Navy and it is written under the ship as " The Medal of the donation to Ottoman Empire Navy " . And Mr. Demir; it is a nice and rare award document of this medal but the ornamentation , garnish ( In Turkish we call it Teship ) up of the gold inlaid Tughra are later made , there is no such type of original document for Ottoman Medal awards . ( I mean the Teship flowers on the Tughra ) . Avsar Ibar

Thank you very much for your kind attitude for my web page. Kind Regards , Avsar
