    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:

    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:

    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):

    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.
