drclaw Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 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.

paul wood Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 beautiful. so which period is this one from? Is the reverse plate marked in any way? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drclaw Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drclaw Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
