Turkey Oh, no, not another TWM!

This group just arrived today from My Man in Porscheburg..

The Cross looks like it might be a Wagner, but to me the interesting thing is the TWM.

Looks almost like a 1950s kinda backing !!

[Guest Rick Research]

Might well be. It's a classic Steinhauer & L?ck "egg tughra" front.

It's a well made example, highly vaulted, with a very bright finish, maybe chrome. The enamel is thinner than my BB&C and the underlying metal I'd call a "strawberry" pattern.

What I find interesting is the pin and catch. It looks more like something you'd find on a piece of costume jewelry. Regardless, I'm happy with it.

No fair, you guys can type faster than me

Chris, that was my thought, but thwe rest of the group is pre-war. Enamel being what it is, though, it might be a replacement for a broken original or a deteriorated Turkish made one.

That is without a doubt the BEST S&L I have ever seen. Yup, the unmistakable strawberry seeds pattern confirms it.

I'm not sure of the vintage just from the pin-- they made a lot of replacement enamel-type Silesian Eagles in the 1930s with pin fastenings like that.
