Hello Members.

I located this cased gold and enamel pin. Can anyone Identify what it is and especially who or want the makers mark is ??? Thanking you in advance,

Members,

Looks like you have a winner. Be careful though because they are contagious and one will not be enough.

I found Demir's book on TWM's excellent. From a historical prospective he dealt with good explanations that got to the point. This enabled me to get the background on the things that needed to be covered without long boring explanations. In addition he covered photos of documents, cases and various packets. Excellent photos of TWM's of Turkey and German origin and their manufacturing differences to include the hinges, pins and clasps. There were several examples to compare and lust after. This type of reference was long overdue and Demir has now filled that void. Demir was able to create one book that is bilingual from English to Turkish. Thank you Demir for providing a long overdue reference on one of our favorite awards. Thank you Demir for your fine reference.

Super collection and super display. Thank for sharing.

I've been offered this pin in with a bunch of tinnies.

I am 99.99% sure its a fake/fantasy, Do you concur?

Regards,

Pete

IMO I also believe it is a fantasy piece; however I have not seen this one before.

Gent's, the reverse

Gent's, For those of you who know me I love to collect eclectic militaria. I like Patriotic Jewelry and items that were made and given to someone special. I do hope you enjoy this piece that is ~ 4.0 cm X 5.5 cm that can be worn as a pendent or broach. The reverse is marled 800 with a 1/4 moon and full crown and G.HERMELING and GES.GESCH. Roughly translated EIN MANN MIT GOTT IST IMMER IN DER MAJORITAET 1914 - 1945 ------ A man with god is always in the majority 1914 - 1915.

Rocky is a trustworthy person - without hesitation I believe the above statement.

Hardy

Hardy -- Joe, Thank you for giving my esteem a much needed boost. No matter how hard one tries occasionally something like this comes up. I have to find out more about this piece and really hope it is not in the ever elusive book of "Known Fakes."

Hi Gents, Is there any literature available on this pin problem ? If so who or where can someone provide a link or even better a book with photos ? Also thank you all for your help one this item, it is closed but I cannot find out how to remove that bugger

.

Hi Guys,

The last thing I would do is knowingly sell a reproduction, thank you for bringing this to my attention. Can anyone provide me with information that discusses the problem with the cross ? Or at least point me in the right direction ? In the interim I will pull this item. I am in the process of listing a large inventory. All with a money back warranty for 7 - 10 days while it is shown around. So please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you see anything that is questionable or if you have questions regarding anything I list. Thank You Rocky

P. S. Consider this item as no longer offered until it is discussed. I would have pulled it by now but could not figure out how that is accomplished. Rocky

Great find, super rare and complete too boot, this is the first complete set I have ever seen congratulations outstanding.

The enamel on this one is not what you would expect to see on a BB&Co so I look forward to seeing more photos when you get this one in hand.

The enamel also looks like a J Werner so the back will tell all - I hope. Good luck and looking forward to seeing the reverse when you get the Star.

Outstanding find, can we see the reverse ? A fine example and I feel certain it will not be the only one you add to your collection

because -- Collecting G-Stars is very contagious

Demir -- As always very interesting and beautiful. Thank you for sharing :beer:

Thank You Gentlemen for your compliments and information. I did add this example to my small collection and now have six. Except for two B. B & C all the others are different. I hope to start a small gallery of my TWMs when I have more time. This is becoming one of my favorites badges.

Thank You.

Hello Gentlemen, I recently ran across another G-Star that I have a chance to purchase for my collection. Normally they are one of several makers and the decision to purchase is easy and based on condition and funds available. This particular one by this maker Is the only one I have ever seen ( FR. SEDLATZEK is the maker and they were a valid maker ). While I would like to add it to the few others I have the price is high and I would like some opinions. Thank You.

Terry, An outstanding group of TWM's. :cheers:

Recently I have become interested in British Medals especially the miniatures. I lucked up at a recent show and found a medal bar that is attributed to Brigadier L. S. H. Smithers, C.B., 17 th Infantry ( "The Loyal Regiment" ) Indian Army. This is the extent of information provided by the dealer. Eric suggested I use the London Gazette for more information and I am working on that one but have not located this gent yet. Could anyone out there provide some links that may point me in the proper direction to research the recipient ? Thanking You In Advance.

Chris.

Thank you for the information ? It will be pulled from my site. Sorry for the delay in email response. I have been traveling for the last few weeks.
