Turkey Which Sultan's Tughra?

[jkautz55]

I'm trying to figure out who's Tughra this is on a Silver Ewer that was awarded to an Ottoman Bureaucrat. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I should mention that I thought this was from Abdulhamid II, however I found a list of inventory from the original owner that listed its production date as 1860, which would make it Abdulmecid.

Hello ,

Yes , it is Sultan 2nd Abdulhamid Tughra .

The small one is sah ( Silver Purity stamp ) and the zig zag mark , we call as ceshni , they take the silver dust sample from there .

Hi,

Here is a website where you can find all toughras and information about them.

They may not resemble the toughras on the silverware but at least give an idea.

Just for an information ;

The style of the Toughras on the Ottoman silverware and the official / classic style of Toughras of the Sultans are far away different !
