      interesting, the left is trying to look like Prince Boris, the right like King Ferdinand (although I hope he didn't share his peccadilos). Paul

      Unfortunately there are many unwise people around the amount of times I have found people who have bought them assuming they are the real deal. Paul

      Thanks for that now we need a Bulgarian. Paul

      Presumably there were EKs awarded to Bulgarians and Turks, has anyone seen any. Paul

      Thank you Demir, most useful

      Probably a fantasy shot, the sitter fancying himself as Rudolph Valentino wearing some orders and decs from a costume jewellery or fancy dress shop, he certainly doesn't look very eastern. Paul

      Milos thank you very much for the picture. I think at 160 euros you did well, the documents are always much rarer than the awards. Paul

      Milos most interesting do you have an image of the document. Paul

      Thanks very much for the information about this interesting medal. PAul

      Can't see anything obviously wrong with them, the trouble is many of the so called experts have no idea, which is why they take dozens of photographs of the items when they are viewing them. Some of them also tell everybody an item is a fake and then buy it cheap and reveal that is is genuine later Paul

      I would agree with Peter on the face of it appears to be to be OK on the other hand there are good contemporary French copies, weight should conclusively confirm it. Paul

      Now I see why the Germans don't play cricket no decent bowlers. Paul

      I can see that was a major B***s up, Serbia possibly but not Croatia but in the end it turned out to be Greek Orthodox. Paul

      King Ferdinand (1914-27) and Queen Marie. Suspect Great War period patriotic postcards. Paul

      If that's real I'm Bette Davis. Paul

      First Is a medical officers badge, Third is the commemorative for the 50th anniversary of the Zemstvo. The middle one has me stumped. Paul

      Excellent thanks for that. Paul

      Rabino calls it a Bravery Medal, he certainly knew his coins and marine mammals (seals) but whether he was so hot on medals I am not sure Paul

      Thanks so much Demir so a bit like Abdulmalik bin Abdulkadir. Interesting thought Auseklis, would be nice if it was the case, however Abdulkadir is not an uncommon name and there were many emirates within the Ottoman Empire. Paul

      Nick here is the medal Rene, the Nasr ed Din gold medal depending on the condition is normally £600-800. Paul

      Demir, Thank you so much for your help. WIth best wishes, Paul

      Rene An example similar to yours is illustrated in the Coins Medals and Seals of the Shahs of Iran by Count Rabino. The earliest example I have seen in 1253H, from the reign of Fath Ali Shah which was in the colection of the American Numismatic Society, needless to say it made 3 times the price of a Nasr ed din gold medal.

      http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_09_2013/post-3085-0-22406000-1379425617.jpgHere is a silver Imtiaz medal dated 1313 lacking suspension but with clear reverse inscription, it turned up among a pile of Islamic coins. Any Idea as to what the engraved inscription reads. Thanks in advance, Paul

      Mervyn Interesting point about the City of London Police. They actively engage in purchasing items related to their history. I remember some years ago they bought an Olympic gold medal awarded to a member of the City of London Police Tug-of-War team. A Met museum would be a marvellous thing an I'm sure would be a good public relations excercise for them. Paul

      Its the silver medal for valour issued under Ahmad Shah and dated 1334 (1916) probably awarded for the Russian incursion into neutral Iran. Very nice medal Paul
