Turkey Order of Medjidie 3rd Class

[drclaw]

Order of Medjidie, Third Class, that arrived today.

Sent to me by my new friend Mr Avsar Ibar from Istanbul (www.avsaribar.com).

I'm really enjoying the variations in design between different periods and different makers. Makes collecting these a fascinating hobby.

Is the reverse plate marked in any way?

Yes, small mint mark and I am guessing it is early 20th century from the overall design of the medal.

But I'm still expanding my knowledge base on these orders so I can't say that with any authority.

Lovely Lambert!

Could you show us a photo of the obverse? If it is in the same condition as the reverse, it will be stunning.

Hello Gavin.

These are the photos you requested.

I have more on my website.

Great blog too by the way! Very interesting ODM, many of which I've never come across before so enjoyed learning about them.

Hi Gavin

Thank you for visiting my blog,.

I'm interested mainly in Orders and Medals of World War I and also Brazil WWI and WWII.

I started collecting just nine months, so I have a lot to learn.
