Hi all What do you guys think of this one? Thank you.

I started this in another part of the forum. Maybe fits better here?

Hi all A friend of mine sent me these pics and wanted help. I have no knowledge in these kind of medals but they do look Turkish to me. Anyone out there that can help with an Id of these two? Medal with red enamel 29,66g, size: 54,6 × 69,5mm. Other medal, 5,47g, Ø: 24,6mm. Thank you all Best Regards Henke

Thank you so much for the info!

Thanks, so he was like working for the military but not serving at the front?

Hi all Any ideas why this bar shows a non combatent 1870 medal, the ribbon is for a combatent? Has it been replaced? Best Regards Henke

Thank you so much Mr Ulsterman! Once more Im sorry for my bad start, great that you still could help me out. Best Regards Henke

Sorry all Im feeling kinda stupid now :/ I dont know why I thought this guy was prussian. My collection has been resting for about 1 year now and I finally decided to pick it up again. And one of my ideas is to make a nice display of some things, one of the things beeing a bar from his person. Somewhere here I ended up thinking he was prussian, and I dont know why I did. I was just in a hurry when I wrote here and didnt think it over. Really sorry if I made you spend time because of my stupidity. Ulsterman youre information is the correct one. I thank you a lot for this. Once more Im really sorry for this and will not post more things before doing a better research myself, thank you all so much for your time. Best Regerds Henke

Hi all.. Is there anyway you online can look for information about a man, Hauptmann Eduard Ludwig Kelters from Prussia and in active duty from about 1849 to about 1870? I would be very grateful for any information what so ever. Best Regards Henke

Well no one would be happier then me if this little piece actually was this old . But I would guess that its a later struck. Anyone got any idea at all where I could go to get a 100% id on this medal? Best Regards Henke

Thanks! Do you have any idea of the age of this medal?

The reverse

Anyone have any idea of what this is? I have no idea if its even from the period and the region. So sorry if its in the wrong section. Feel free to move it.

Hi Ulsterman! How can you know for sure that its naval? Maybe just naval troops were involved in the Brazilian conflict? Thank you for your kind words! Best Regards Henke

Where can I learn more about the person behind the bar? Are there any public archives or so where I can try and find out more info about him? Best Regards Henke

Here is a picture of the reverse

To be honest I dont know much of this medal myself, not more then that its very very rare. This link says all the info I have: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%B6r_tapperhet_i_f%C3%A4lt

Somehow I dont think this seller really knew what he was offering http://www.tradera.com/LITEN_SILVERMEDALJ_...uktion-46494858

Well I have more or lessed decided to buy it know. The age, the story and the rare combo made it for me. I guess its kinda hard to set a price on such a ribbon. But I feel that if I ever decide to sell it I will get my money back. When I get it in my hand I will be happy to share more pics of it to all new friends I made here on this splendid forum. I must thank you all for you reviews and helpful words. Is there anyway I can get more info on the soldier that got this awards? Also togehter with this ribbon I might be able to purchase a 13 miniature ribbon, will keep you all updated on that one as well if there is any intrest. Its a swedish ribbon and I guess its just really 3 of the awards that are really nice.... but still Best Regards Henke

Tha man kneeling down looks a lot like Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell...

And finally the note... Im I stupid or is there a way to show all pics in the same post here on the forum?

Another pic..

No pics of the reverse, sorry. Well here is the deal to be honest. I can buy this ribbon for 2000SEK, but Im really not sure its worth it. 2000SEK is about 210?, 142? or 285$. But I did come across a little intresting note

Hi all! I would appreciete if anyone have any suggestions on how much to pay for this ribbon? Best Regards Henke

My pleasure!
