Hello,

I suggest this service for Ottoman document translations into todays Turkish.

Documents will be translated into English or may be other languages.

Thanks Brett, Nice to hear from you, best wishes.

Hi Paul, His shoulder seems to have two stars but his cap has 1 star. I can't see clearly. We have 1 star for lieutenant (Tegmen) and 2 star for first lieutenant (Üstegmen) (UK: second lieutenant, USA: second lieutenant) (UK: lieutenant, USA: first lieutenant)

Best wishes

Demir

My new Turkish Brigade patch. I think it was used after the 3rd Brigade

Paul,

According to the Regulation, everybody had to return, but nobody bothered to do so, otherwise there wouldn't be this much order on sale in different places. I think with the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and foundation of the Turkish Republic no body bothered to control the orders etc, which were banned to wear anyway. For foreign recepients I don't know, you are most probably right.

Demir

Yes, according to the Regulation it has to be returned, but no body bothered after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Enjoy it

Hi,

Yes you can.Thanks

Demir

I checked the post in SPA, I am a member.

Please compare the tougras and the amount of rivets 8 versus 9 (2 on the right side). Also I said "normally" they cut, not never.

Best wishes

Demir

Hi,
This is only my opinion, let us wait to see what our friends going to say.

Another point, normally Godet and Meybauer cuts the end of the rivets.

Case was specially made for the medal by the jeweller.
As far as I remember Godet's interior material was blue, but of course it doesn't mean they all are

Hi,

Although the base design of the medal looks like both, IMHO I don't think that it is either of them because of the tougra. Godet's and Meybauer's tougra is better written and more look alike to the original tougra especially in the middle (lines like waves). This medals tougra do not look the tougra made by them.

Regards

Demir

1. Godet

2. Meybauer

3. Original Tougra

No problem...

Nice to read from you again! Unfortuntely I don´t have any more photos of the TWM. If I´ll get some, I´ll send you the scans

Thanks Andreas.

In this picture he has another Order from Mahmud II's successor, his son, Sultan Abdülmecid II. The one in the middle Nişan-ı Zişan.

Selam Andreas,

Nice to get in touch with you again.

Thanks for the photos. I will not mention your name. Sorry about the "helmet" one. Time to time I forgot to name the photos I saved.

Best wishes

Miloš Obrenović (pronounced [mîlɔʃ ɔbrɛ̌ːnɔʋitɕ]) (Serbian Cyrillic: Милош Обреновић; Anglicised: Milosh Obrenovich; born Miloš Teodorović^[1]) (18 March 1780 [7 March o.s.] – 26 September 1860) was Prince of Serbia from 1815 to 1839, and again from 1858 to 1860. He participated in the First Serbian Uprising, led Serbs in the Second Serbian Uprising, and founded the House of Obrenović. Under his rule, Serbia became an autonomous principality within the Ottoman Empire. Prince Miloš ruled autocratically, permanently refusing to share power. During his rule, he was the richest man in Serbia and one of the richest in the Balkans.

Here are my photos:

Nice photos

May I share these photos in my TWM facebook page.

Tesekurler Demir.

You mean the one with the ...beautiful wife....lol...?

Yes :)

Merhaba Demir

Here it is.

"13/12/33 (1333 -1917) Yavuz üzerinde bulundugum esnada"

13.12.1917 while I am on board Yavuz

This officer and the chubby officer on top with his wife (A lieutenant colonel - his uniform is from 1933-47 period - He also has the Medal of Independence. He wears the War Medal on his left breast instead of right) are Turkish. If you can say what is on his collar I may be able to say his class. It looks like medical doctor.

I just checked. The back of the photo has a note written in the old Turkish script. This was translated (by Demir I believe) as " when I was on board Yavuz" (other name for the Goeben.

Hi Terry,

Can you scan and post the reverse

Best wishes

Demir
