Hi,

Northern Star was the given title to the Turkish Brigade by Gen. Mac Arthur. A Turkish private designed a badge and approved.

This "Northern Star" was sold yesterday. One small and one big badge, but the position of the stars are different.

The head stone of Col. Nuri Pamir, Commander of 241st Turkish Inf. Regiment who was KIA in Korea on 24 February 1952 shows the stars on the right side of the badge. So, the stars must be on the right IMO.

Hello ottomanmedal,

yes this is exactly what I think, the order is too expensive. thank you for the answer

One day, that guy will find somebody to sell his, as said above, well overpriced items.

I am glad that we are at the same wave length here, I really give great importance what you say.

Hi - Guys. We have a guest - on the Guest info. and valuation Forum - asking for help on the Turkish units in the

Korean War. Should anyone be able to help him we will be most grateful. Mervyn.

Hello Mervyn,

Mr Saral is still waiting a mail from him.

Hello,

Here are the samples of JHWerner TWMs with the date 333 on them instead of 1333.

And I still disagree. In my eyes, this is a modern fake. Not to be compared or even confused with old wearer's copies.

Hi sachaw,

But as you know, for me they are all fakes sorry copies.

On the other hand, why didn't we say anything about the date on it. It has the date 333 instead of 1333. :jumping:

It came from Germany, Aachen. I sent you an email yesterday for the details.

As I pointed out on my thread there were several makers in this field and some of them were jewellers.

The medal seems authentic to me apart from the makers name on it, but if somebody finds or knows anything else about the authenticy of the medal please inform the community. The problem is there were to many makers in this field and when you see a new name, you try to get it.

I am still saying that the medal was not the problem but the maker Schwerin.

Hi Chris,

I don't think that it has a relation with the Turkish Brigade in the Korean War.

Not Turkish

It looks original..

Hi,

They do not belong to the belt.

NOT NORMAL.

I think somebody later added some ornament and had to pin it through those 3 holes on both sides.

Hi Saschaw,

This is the best I can do

Thanks

Hi,

I recently added this picture to my collection and asked Mr. Saral's help to identify it.

He said it is most probably Major Lierau, Heavy Artillery Group Commander in Anafartalar, Gallipoli, later Lieutenant Colonel, Artillery Commander in Palestine. He said Major Lierau wears the Otoman Artillery Officers' uniform and his collar insignia is exploding cannonball which means heavy artillery used in the forts.

He also wears the Turkish War medal. I think he was also wearing the Turkish Liyakat Medal with crossed scimitars on his left breast.

My problem is: if he was Heavy Artillery Group Commander in Anafartalar, Gallipoli and later Lieutenant Colonel, Artillery Commander in Palestine, that means he had been fighting actively in the battle field. So how come he was also wearing white ribbon with red or black on the sides ribbon on the second buttonhole of his tunic.

Then there are two options:

1. This is not a ribbon belonging to either TWM or Iron Cross II,

2. He is not Major Lierau but somebody else (and who is he?) but even then whoever he is, since he has heavy artillery officer insignia and wears TWM how come he has white ribbon (if it is not something else)?

What would you suggest?

So my question is: what is the make of the TWM in the second picture?

1. Is it S&L ?

2. or this is also S&L but the first one is again as Tim Tezer said; "I couldn't say whether they are Turkish or German made, as the tughra mark on the back has nothing to do with the manufacturer, other than showing that careless workers were employed in their shop" ?

thanks

This is 60 mm.

Hello,

Here is a sample of a Steinhauer & Lück TWM, as Rick mentioned in his earlier thread "Steinhauer & Lück-- identifiable from their "strawberry seeds" enamel pattern and the "snail and Easter egg" tughra" .

At the reverse: there is a pattern which is "in fact reversed - a mirror image. This is the result of what coin collectors refer to as "die clash"" as wisely put by Tim Tezer. In S&L location and types (lock and open) of the pins show some differences.

OK.

Please check the second picture (following thread) ....

The "strawberry seeds" enamel pattern and the "snail and Easter egg" tughra is same also the white metal with thin inner lines covering the arms are same but the reverse; it is perfect, no mirror image.

Hello Uwe,

Hi Uwe

A far as know German awards manufacturers letter code for Steinhauer & Lück located in Lüdenscheid is: "STL" or "o" and

LDO code is: L / 16

I have no idea what E.S is, sorry. What is the width of the medal in mm?

Thanks
