Senin Türk Müharibə Medal çox yaxşı bir nümunədir.

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 .

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

Sorry to ask, but as you put the year 1912 in the title of this thread, Is this medal established during the Balkan war? Is this the famous cruiser Hamiddiye on the medal? And would you help me to read something more about the medal in English? After all we are commemorating 100 years of the war this year, neighbour...

Thank you very much for your kind attitude for my web page.

Kind Regards ,

Avsar
