christerd Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Hi I found this wonderful pic on a Swedish auction !! On the backside its written " Weinachten 1915 Konstantinopel" If I read this photo right he is a Leutnant z?r see , with a new ? EK II and "gallipoli star" How many officers was there on Goeben and Breslau ? Funny how theese photos can end up in all corners of the world Christer
Guest Rick Research Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 No name! There were quite a few German naval officers there who were not members of either crew, so this Leutnant zur See might have been on other duty-- possibly a submariner. He could also be a der Reserve officer-- looks a bit older than the normal 22-- and is that a tiny little dR/ dSW cross + I see in the center of his cap cockade?Notice that his Turkish star is worn with the TOP point at LEFT-- with its upside down horizontal pin (ALREADY non-Turkish made copies!!! ) in a clock's position 8:10! You'd have thought he could have figured out which side was "up" from the pin!!! :cheeky:

christerd Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 wow-just saw this. can you focus in on the star? looks Turkish made to me-flat. Hi Ulsterman, I have been away from home for two weeks, but will try to make a scan this evening of the Star Christer
christerd Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 Here is a scan of the star , but I don?t lnow if its any better ? Christer
Guest Rick Research Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Euuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Epson scanner..... BIG. PLEASE!!!!!!!!It looks like a cheap painted one piece "Turkish issue" type BUT the horizontal pin indicates some European manufacturer. A strange type.
christerd Posted April 23, 2009 Author Posted April 23, 2009 And here is EPSON ! I hope this is better Christer
Guest Rick Research Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 :jumping: Yup-- looks like a one-piece with horizontal pin to me. Very weird!
Gordon Williamson Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 But ------if you rotate the photo to the correct position, isn't that the tip of a normal vertical mounted pin sticking out at the bottom ?
