Guest Rick Research Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 This Osmanie 4th Class is not only on an Austrian trifold ribbon, it was MADE in Austria[attachmentid=13103][attachmentid=13104]The Whomping Great Dingus is hollow, which cuts down some of the weight all pulling on the spindly, fragile suspension... but only makes the enamel more vulnerable.I can just make out that the hallmarks ARE Austrian, not what they are:[attachmentid=13105] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Anybody who knows me has seen this before-- the medal bar of (eventually) Konteradmiral (V) August B?ning (1891-1964), but since it is the ONLY "live" example of a wartime Medjidie 5th Class with Sabers I have seen posted, here it is again:[attachmentid=13106]Lost behind the "supersize" Fashion Statement (from photos, many of the very few 5thX holders bought examples the size of 3rd Class commander grade classes-- but the silver center disk betrays the humble 5th) is an original Turkish issue recycled tunafish can alloy "silver" Liakat Medal (their "EK1" for all its unprepossessing appearance) with a post-1924 German made replacement Sabers bar.I know it's a post-1924 replacement bar because he was still wearing the long Turkish issue version then:[attachmentid=13107] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 WW1 Silver (real--hallmarked on every single bit) Imtiaz Medal with Sabers Bar, an Austrian base metal wartime "*" hallmarked version, and a Turkish made "Silver" Liakat Medal with issue Sabers Bar (on Bavarian army Luitpold Jubilee "close enough" ribbon):[attachmentid=13108] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 Here's a Gold Imtiaz Medal that floated through eBay (USA) not too long ago....... like $1200++ USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 Despite the less than nice pix, this piece went very strong......... I was inhibited from bidding as the piece was in Ankarra...... the postal system there seems to have had some problems recently with pieces to/from the USA.
