    1. This is an unofficial constitution token. It was a souvenir for the proclamation of the constitution by Sultan.

      I think it ia a “Contemporary Medal”: Medals produced between 1915 – 1945 1. Official: Medals made by the Imperial Mint in Istanbul or other domestic and foreign commissioned manufacturers or jewelers, if there were any and if there were, whether they were able to produce any medals 2. Contemporary Medals: Medals produced between 1915 – 1945 3. Replica, copy, reproduction, etc.: Medals produced after 1945.
    6. Hello, My article about the Orders and Medals received by Atatürk is published in the January issue, number 92, of Anıtkabir Journal. Although it is in Turkish the names of the medals were written in their original names and English.
    7. If they actually participated the fight they can have the sabers/swords on their orfers. Otherwise it is in Sultan’s discretion how to award these Orders or medals. Their diplomas (berat) had to be signed bt the Sultan.
    8. Hi, It is July 7, 1915
    9. Thanks a lot. After all these comments, with your help and with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's list of military awards I think it is Austrian Militär-Verdienstmedaille mit Schwertern, II. Klassen Military Merit Medal with with War Decoration and Swords 2nd Class With Liman von Sanders on 31 October 1918 in Adana, Mustafa Kemal Pasha was appointed to the command of the Yıldırım Army Group, replacing Liman von Sanders. Best wishes Demir
    10. Hello, When I compare the photo of the medal now with the Russian order, they don't look similar. I think the colored picture at the top is also not the medal on the black and white photo of the medal attached to collar of the uniform. Also, the photo was from WWI and Turkey was in war with the Russians. I think, the medal on the collar must be a decoration of the allies, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria I need your views please. Thanks Demir
    11. Hello, Thank you all. Yes I found it. Sorry for not including the main photo but another photo. In the main photo, it was worn on the neck. I found this website: https://www.identifymedals.com/database/medals-by-period/pre-ww1-medals/the-order-of-saint-stanislaus 1st class It is worn on a moiré red ribbon, the breadth of two and a half inches, double white stripes at the borders, worn over the right shoulder with the star on the left side of the chest. 2nd class Cross of the same form, as for the first class, but of lesser magnitude, worn around the neck, on a ribbon with a width of one or two inches. 3rd class Cross of the same form as the first two classes but worn in the buttonhole on the same ribbon with a width of five-eighths inches. According to this website the decoration is Second-class. Thanks again Demir
