Nice photos thanks

Not according to the regulation.

He likes it this way.

He has Breast Star of the 2nd Degree Osmani and Mecidi Orders with Swords. He also wears the Turkish War Medal. We can also see the 2nd Degree Mecidi Order with Swords and also 2nd Degree Order of Osmani with Swords (blurred- toward his left shoulder) on his neck.

Thanks, this is an important information and photo of the Admiral.

Hi,

1 Is this the Order of the Medjidie, and which Class?   YES it is 1st Class order of Mecidi - Breast star is no 11

When you have both 1st Class Osmani and Mecidi, 1 st Class Osmani sash is worn and an order hangs at the end of the sash under the arm. An order of the 1st class Mecidi is worn on the neck.

2 Königlich Preußischer Roter Adler-Orden 2. Klasse mit Eichenlaub (can you guys see the Oak Leaves above the cross?)

3 Venezuelanischer Orden der Büste Bolivars

4 Is this the Imtiyaz Medal? Number 5 also looks like the Imtiyaz Medal. So is it possible that this one is the version in Gold, and number 5 the version in Silver?   YES I think so 4 Gold – 5 Silver

5 Is it also the Imtiyaz Medal (in Silver) or something else? Perhaps the Kaiserlich Türkische Verdienstmedaille vom Roten Halbmond (Medal of Merit of the Red Crescent, i.e. the Turkish "Red Cross"), which was a similar sized medal and had a similar ribbon colour/pattern that could look the same on a black and white photo?   IT IS SILVER IMTIYAZ (It can't be Medal of Glory&Pride and Industry because of the size, it is smaller then Imtiyaz). Suspension is also typical for IMTIYAZ.

6 Is this the Liakat Medal? And which class could it be, looking at Hofe's rank and Ottoman service, Silver or Gold?    It is Liyakat, they usually were awarded with IMTIYAZ. Suspension is also typical for Liyakat. It must be Silver Liyakat otherwise it should have been placed between the two Imtiyaz Medals, after Gold Imtiyaz. (If there were lines on the ribbon (4 red 3 green) then it would have been the Greek War Medal 1896, since he was at the Ottoman Court that time. But the Greek War suspension is totally different). 

7 Is it the Königlich Preußisches Dienstauszeichnungskreuz or something else? The "thing" above the cross throws me off, it looks like a crown.

8 Pretty sure this is the Königlich Preußische Kriegsdenkmünze für die Feldzüge 1870–71 für Kämpfer (Medal for the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71)

9 This looks like the Königlich Preußische Kaiser Wilhelm-Centenarmedaille 1897. It's odd because he was in Ottoman service when this medal was being awarded (1897), but I guess he was eligible for it nevertheless?

10 Is this the Order of Osmaniye, and which Class?  1st Class Osmani

11 Is this the Breast Star of the Order of the Medjidie he is wearing around the neck (number 1)? And which Class?  1st class Mecidi and on the neck the order.

He is also wearing a sash. Can anyone determine to which order does the sash belong?  It looks like the Sash of the 1st Class Order of Osmani, because there are no other orders with breast star, only 1st Class Mecidi but Osmani outranks it.  There must be an order hanging at the end of the Sash under his left arm. Sash Green and red at the sides.

The breast star above the War Medal is Osmanie Order Second Class.

Mustafa İsmet İnönü (Turkish pronunciation: [isˈmet ˈinœny]; 24 September 1884 – 25 December 1973) was a Turkish general^[1] and statesman, who served as the second President of Turkey from 10 November 1938 to 27 May 1950, when his Republican People's Party was defeated in Turkey's second free elections. He also served as the first Chief of the General Staff from 1922 to 1924, and as the first Prime Minister after the declaration of the Republic, serving three terms: from 1923 to 1924, 1925 to 1937, and 1961 to 1965. As President, he was granted the official title of "Millî Şef" (National Chief).^[2]

When the 1934 Surname Law was adopted, Mustafa Kemal gave him a surname taken from İnönü, where he commanded the forces of Army of Grand National Assembly as the Minister of the Chief of the General Staff (Turkish: Erkân-ı Harbiye-i Umumiye Reis Vekili) during the Greco-Turkish War of 1919–1922. Afterwards these battles became to be known as the First Battle of İnönü and Second Battle of İnönü.

Somewhat late, admittedly, but I agree with ixhs' and paul wood's concerns: This seems to be one more of the countless fakes that are floating the collector market for more than ten years now. The overall quality isn't suitable for a German or Austrian private purchase type in enamel and possibly real silver, as isn't the enamel itself. Also, the patina is artifically applied - it's well done, as you pointed out, but still it's not naturally grown.

I agree with you.

Demir

Thanks

It is just a souvenir coin.

Great thread, thank you Gentlemen!

 

 

Are you sure that one was given to him by Reshad? Not only the German maker, but the writing is a German dedication, too! "Sr. Exc." iSeiner Excellenzs "", which means "To His Excellence". I'd assume it was rather given to him by a German. Impossible? By the way, are we talking about that legendary supersized OWM?

I think it is given by the company J.H.Werner - Berlin

Hello,

They are not Turkish made. They are postwar medals.

Thanks but the pages are gone already. It is always better to share their picture here. 

They prefer mainly Turkish, Amharic, Italian and Spanish written ones.

Here are the fake ones previously sold.

Beautiful.

In 1919 his command in Turkey was lifted. He returned to Germany, where he was dismissed in 1920 in the rank of captain from the army. In the war Croneiß was awarded the Iron Cross of both classes, the Oldenburg Friedrich August Cross of both classes, the Knight's Cross of the Order of Albrecht with swords, the Hessian Medal of Honor , the Austrian Military Cross of Merit III. Class with swords, the Ottoman Imtiaz and Liakat Medals , the Mecidiye Order , the Iron Crescent , the Wound Badge awarded in black and the pilot's badge."
