According to the statute German commanders could only be able to sign War Medal documents without higher approval. That was the reason all the Turkish documents bear the signature of Enver Pasha or in the German case signed by the German field commanders. All medals other than the War Medal has to be approved by the Sultan and an Berat-i Âli (diploma of the medal carrying the Sultan’s tughra.) was submitted with the medal.

You are right war medal might not belong to the box. But in any case, the box shows that Raithel was also producing War Medals. (Or just making war medal boxes ?)

Hello, A friend of mine sent me this medal producer that also produced TWM from Gera-Germany. When I saw the hallmark in the box, I remembered that some time ago somebody asked for this hallmark. J. RAITHEL - GERA - GERMANY A German producer. Asterisk * on the pin shows that non-precious metal was used. Asterisk is a mark generally used by Austrian manufacturers. ( If this medal was produced by Raithel. Maybe the owner put an Austrian made Medal in the box)

The are the Turkish names with the letters HAL; HALİT, HALİL, HALİM, HALİS

I am glad that it helped. Mehmed Reşad’s pseudonym was “Reşad” until the Galipoli war. Then changed to “el Gazi” (blue background pisture) in 1914 after winning the Gallipoli (Chanakkale) War. Best wishes Demir PS: for others : https://www.islamiokul.com/2455-2/

Hello, It looks like the Turkish War Medal. You also mentioned it in your medal list (last award). Best wishes

I totally agree with you. Arms on the right is different than the one on the left . There must be a similer space between the arms on the right. So not Osmanie or Medjidie.

No 3 looks like The Ottoman Order Of Talent awarded for “talent, science and skill”, or Life Saving Medal. Best wishes

Second Class Order of Osmanie

It is not Turkish type.

If he had 1 or 2 wouldn’t they show it

Hi, From top: 1. I think on the ribbon bar from left 3. Gold Imtiyaz 4. Gold Liyakat 5. Silver İmtiyaz 6. Silver Liyakat. IMHO Rest not Turkish. 2. 1 st, 2 nd or 3rd class Mecidi order, Most probably 3rd Class. Otherwise there should have been a breast star for 1 and 2. 3. He has the War Medal and might be Gold Liyakat? and Silver Imtiyaz with swords 4. Silver İmtiyaz with Swords 5. same as 3
