Hi, Recently I have bought this Medjidie Order and in the back, besides the Darphane-i Amire and the silver hallmark, there is a mark in zigzag: does someone know which is the meaning of this mark? Also I would like to know your opinion on this Medjidie order: I believe that it's authentic, but lately I'm a bit paranoiac with the fakes. Best regards

Very nice FJO, I read that HUW started to make FJO towards the end of the First World War, is it true?

Hi Tim, thank you for the explanation Best regards Enrique

Hi, I am looking for a Osmanie order , and and by the photos that I have seen until now, it seems that there are two types: one with the TRIANGULAR suspension hoop and best finished and other with the suspension hoop more ROUNDED and a bit more poor finished (less detail): Do they belong to different periods or they were made by different manufacturers?

FJO in gold, in bronze......and the mine: an FJO in silver (G.A.Scheid, dianahead 3A)

For what I know, all FJO knight crosses in real gold have a locket in the back, in case of a Commander cross (yours is an beauty ), I do not know it. Best regards Enrique

Doubtlessly a lovely order , you could put close up photos including the open locket ? Best regards

Hi Alex, It is not easy to find information about this order. Besides in Persia it was made of other countries: France, Germany, Belgium, Russia...For the drawing of the central medallion, I believe that this is persian made, but I?m not sure. This is a Grand Cross (civil division): 3 bands in the centrer and 8 arms. If you find any information about the period of issue, please, make it know me Best regards

Hi, I recently obtained this Order of the Sun and Lion. This order was institued in 1808, in 1925, the order was substituted by the order of Homayoun. I belive that this order is persian made, probably by Saniolmamalek. If it is possible, I would like to know, approximately, its time (period)of issue. What do you think? Best regards

Hi Peter, in addition, the distribution to the holes in the back is very irregular. Certainly it is not a fine work :rolleyes:

Best regards

Hi, after to see many photos of silesian eagles, the most similar one that I have found is this eagle. The maker is Max Reich (Breslau) Somebody knows if this approximately made in 20?s or 30?s? Best regards.

Hi guys, this is my first post. I buy recently (in ebay.de) this enameled silesian eagle. I would like to know your opinion about this bird(I apologize by my ignorance): It?s an eagle of weimar era or third reich (or... !horror!... a fake)? It?s possible to know the maker? Thanks for your replies and sorry for my horrible english.
