Komandir RKKA Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 My friend bought this medal, but I have some doubts about it. I'm not an expert on Turkish awards and quality of medal looks strange for me. Will be appreciate for any opinions about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ottomanmedal Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Your friends Imtiyaz Medal looks OK to me...as we know Imtiyaz Medal was established in 1882,and came in two classes, gold and silver. I would recommend your friend to make sure that this piece is silver,also the weight should be 21-22 grams and 37.5mm in dimension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demir Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Merhaba Komutan, If you really want to be sure please ask your friend as ottomanmedal suggested to check the weight and size. 21.2 gr and 37.5 mm. Regards Demir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komandir RKKA Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Salam Demir, Yes, he already check the weight and size of medal - all are OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avsaribar Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 For information to whom it may interest ; for the later minted medals such as Big Imtiyaz , Liyakat , Donanma-İ iane , Greek War and etc.. The weight examination is OK but for the older minted Ottoman medals , it is not a way to check originality as many of the originals ( even same medal ) has different measurements .

Komandir RKKA Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 I have been surprised by poor quality of surface and herd of medal. That's why I need more skilled colleagues opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demir Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Is it only the medal or the ring attaching the medal to the suspension section included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytop Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 It is the complete medal, but not in my collection. There are both medals, silver and gold, in the original case for both medals together. Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
