Hi all. I have been out of this game for a long time now. I see some real high prices out there. Can someone give me an idea of the current values for these stars? Thanks. 

Another one

"13/12/33 (1333 -1917) Yavuz üzerinde bulundugum esnada"

13.12.1917 while I am on board Yavuz

This officer and the chubby officer on top with his wife (A lieutenant colonel - his uniform is from 1933-47 period - He also has the Medal of Independence. He wears the War Medal on his left breast instead of right) are Turkish. If you can say what is on his collar I may be able to say his class. It looks like medical doctor.

Tesekurler Demir.

You mean the one with the ...beautiful wife....lol...?

A few of mine

Hi Terry,

Can you scan and post the reverse

Best wishes

Demir

Merhaba Demir

Here it is.

This one I have marked as linked to the Goeben....cannot recall why or how...maybe Demir can assist?

I just checked. The back of the photo has a note written in the old Turkish script. This was translated (by Demir I believe) as " when I was on board Yavuz" (other name for the Goeben.

A few more.

Hi all.

A few of my photos:

Very nice!

That looks very nice.

DO think about collecting just EKs... women find EK collectors to be sexiest of all Militaria collectors!! I think a poll of over 70 000 women showed that.....

Hahahahaha....They obviously did not ask my EX-wife....

Nice cross!!!!

Up. A Gold Party Badge also....

As you can see there is some doubt about the spelling of the man's name as I believe the original would have used a phonetic spelling in the Ottoman version. This is the box the cert came with. Obviously addressed to the man's wife or daughter. Name is Schampp I think.

and here is a translation done by a Turkish friend a few years ago. I assume the wording remains the same on all....

Here's one of mine

It looks like he might be trying to attach it to through the buttonhole, but working around the strap for the gas mask.

Seems a bit far from the buttonhole...

Merhaba Demir Bey

You are far too modest about your own knowledge!

As far as that Star is concerned, the rear set up does look convincing but the front....Is that painted? Can we have better/closer shots please?

Terry

Can anyone translate that name?

Ferd. Urbahns (Photographer in Kiel). I never managed to put a name to the face......

Thanks fo rthese comments. Can anyone help with the ribbons?

.........

Thanks for these comments. Yes the TWM is a German/Austrian made piece, slightly vaulted. The photo is very faded so quality is not great. Here is a close up of the ribbons.

That's a start. thanks.

Anyone got any ideas? Imperial era uniforms are not my thing so.... Thanks fo rlooking anyway.

Closer....
