Hello to everyone, Can someone hep me with Identification of this badge. I know it appears as a Anhalt 1st class Friedrich-Kreuz. Any help would be appreciated. Dean

Hello to everyone, I am not sure if this pin-back was officially issued. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thank you in advance Dean

Hello to everyone, MAX Show pick-ups. I know the first medal is for Southwest Africa service. I am not sure about the 2nd one. Can anyone help me identify exactly what the 2nd medal is. Thank you in advance. Dean

Hello to everyone, I picked this up at the MAX show this weekend. It appears to be a miniature flight badge. Can anyone help with identification of this badge. It is 2 inches (5.1 cm) tall and 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) wide. Thank you in advance for any help. Dean

Dave, Thank you for the explanation. Dean

Chris, WOW. Very nice Dean

Dave, Thanks for checking anyway. I did find this website, maybe you can make some sense of it. http://www.ottoman-uniforms.com/ottoman-turkish-orders-medals-an-overview/ chuck and ccj thank you for the nice comments. Dean

Dave, What does that mean? Everything I have seen shows this medal being issued in 1915. Please help. Dean

Hello to everyone, I am looking for information on the clasp that is on this Turkish Liyakat medal bar. The only thing I have found is that the clasp is for combat. Any information would be helpful. Thank you. Dean

Hello to everyone, I just picked up this medal bar. I know the 2nd medal is the Order of the Osmanieh, but I do know what class it is (3rd or 4th). Also, there is a clasp on top of the medal. I do not know what this for. Any information would be helpful. Thank you Dean

CRBeery, What and where is the show in Akron? Never heard of it. Dean

​Andreas, I did not realize it was mounted backwards, thank you. Dean

​ixhs, I will post back pictures as soon as I can. It does look very new. Dean

​CRBeery, You said you found one at the Berea gun show? Dean

​Thanks Paul. I probably will not see another one again.

Paul, I have no idea on how many where issued, this is the first one I have seen. Dean

Hello to everyone, I picked this up at at the last MAX show. Simple, short and sweet. The non-combatant merit cross is what drew me to this. Dean

​Andreas, Thank you for your help. Dean

Andreas and Paul, Thank you both for your confirmation that I did put the right medal on this bar. Do either of you have any idea who this bar would be issued to? A military person seems very unlikely, perhaps a servant or good friend of a royal family? Andreas - I think you have the most unique medal bar. I have never seen a St. Michael medal with a crown and there is the 40 years of faithful civil service. I am not sure what the 2nd or 5th medal would be. Dean

Hello to everyone, I picked this medal bar up at last years MAX show. It was missing the middle medal. I had asked around to see what medal would go with the bar and got two answers, either an Order of the White Falcon or a Prince Luiptold medal with crown. The next show I attended I found a 1905 Price Luiptold medal with crown. I thought that since this was a Bavarian bar and there seems to be a cut at the top (where a crown or loop would be attached) of the red ribbon I thought the Prince Luiptold would be the logical choice. Can anyone please confirm this for me. Dean

Hello to everyone, I picked this up at a show in Ohio. I did not see anything I really needed or wanted at first. I did notice a Bavarian Merit medal with a crown that I did not have. I went back to the table that had the Bavarian Merit medal to look at it again. As I looked at it, I saw this Widows/Next of kin Cross of Honor. I had never seen anything like and thought it was fake at first, but decided to take a chance and buy it for $30. I showed it to a very good and knowledgeable friend and he was amazed at what I had found. It is a brooch mounted Widows/Next of kin Hindenburg Cross that measures 1 and 1/4 inches in height and 1 and 1/4 inches in width (3.2 cm by 3.2 cm). Pics are attached. Dean
