Rogi Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) It could be Turkish or African, they have similar symbolizms in their medals Edited July 24, 2013 by Rogi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saschaw Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I don't know it, by my best guess would be Afghanistan... close enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 My guess is it is from one of the Soviet Asian Republics.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Maybe simply "Bukhara before 1917"? :whistle: Edited July 24, 2013 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I have not seen similar pieces for the Emirate. I will double check the Thies sale of 1986 which had a very large section of Bukharan to see if there was any similar there.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Just checked,, nothing even vaguely similar. Ihave also checked the Tammann collection for Afghanistan and I think that can be safely discounted.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Why him? Because a) this is one impressive Emir we are taking about here b) he donated 1 000 000 rubles for the russian ship building Edited July 24, 2013 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimj Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 The text on it is hard to make out. But looks to be Afghan or possibly Iranian: something "30 years" or 20 years. Not much but every piece adds to the puzzle... /Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
