hunyadi Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) Someone wanted that one really bad - however they are not rare - uncommon but not rare in my opinion. It is nothing more than a veterans gong from after the war - probably the 1920's. The reverese reads in Hungarian "Commemorative of the World War" - the Hungarian crest device may be a bit more rare - but again - it was nothing more than a veterans item. The difference in dates is interesting - but probablty nothing more than a method of denoting what years one served in the war. The interesting part is that for both medals - Karl is shown not Franz Joseph. Edited December 13, 2009 by hunyadi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev in Deva Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Is it possible the ribbon and device were the real treasure on this item? or is it standard to the medal? Kevin in Deva. :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunyadi Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Certainly that is the possibility - and the fact that its in Hungarian - the latest one to show up on Ebay is the Turkish one but with German script. Still - I saw a few in Hungary when I was there - and they certainly did not sell for that ammount. But, one mans treasure is not always mine either...

Hallo Igor, I think the hanger on this medal is a Turkish piece and possibly not original to the medal, Perhaps Ricky would care to post a comment?

Igor Ostapenko Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hello Kevin , I'm sure - it's original medal, but Turkish (?) and early (1916-1917 yy) :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev in Deva Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hello Kevin , I'm sure - it's original medal, but Turkish (?) and early (1916-1917 yy) I think you misunderstand, I was referring to the piece where the ribbon goes,(Ose) is very similar in the style found on Turkish Military Medals from the 1900's. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2009/post-950-126081821842.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2009/post-950-126081823386.jpg Kevin in Deva. :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
