Hi, First one nice looking but the tughra and the pseudonym has been done very wrong and done by an amateur. The second one with the makers mark is: P.MEYBAUER - Berlin. Very good condition. Regards Demir

Hi, Sorry to inform you that this medal has been made by a person who made it sure that it can be easily identified as fake. If you check a genuine Mecidi medal you will see 5 rays in between the star and crescents and the ray in the middle is the longest. In this case there is none or the shortest. Regards

And still is !

Hi, I forgot to post this bracelet. Here is the silver bracelet (made in Germany), of Mr. Nevzat Tanertan who was in Korea, which I bought for my collection last year . Obverse: Miniature Emaille Tropic Lightning for serving under the USA 25th Infantry Division, Emaille Northern Star for the Turkish Brigade (the position of the stars are wrong they have to be on the right side) and Emaille Turkish Flag fixed on the silver bracelet and also left side of the Northern Star written numbers "949 149" ( I think his enrollment no) and right side of the Northern Star the word "Korea". Reverse: Germany, silver, and the name Nevzat Tanertan Regards Demir

Hi If there was no Austrian red and white Medal Ribbon which has to be worn in the second button hole of the tunic then, IMHO it is the ribbon of the TWM. It was worn through the secong button hole of the tunic. Although the position is against the Turkish Army Order no.19. According the second article of this Order " other ribbons belonging to the medals of other countries can only be attached under the War Medal ribbon mentioned in the article 1 of this Order". But since he is not Ottoman he was bound to his Army's regulations. Regards Demir

Hi, May I ask a favour gentlemen? Will you please post the early pictures which are missing now, again. I know it is a burden but, please! Best wishes Demir

"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now living in the soil of a friendly country.Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours… You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace, after having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well." Ataturk, 1934

Hi, I would like to add 4 clasps (ANNEX 3 of the book) which were somehow lost during the process of reading, re-reading and arranging the pictures. Galicya (Galicia), Romanya (Romania), Sakarya (The name of the battle during the Independence War 23 August-13 September 1921) and Tarblusgarp (Tripoli). Sorry for the quality of the pictures.
