Deruelle Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Hi Grahanm In his book, Mr. Demir says that there is no maker known who realize that kind of medal with hallmark 950. For sure you have a very nice one. Congrats Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PREM Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 It looks like an original Turkish production - these stars have such a primitive appearance. But they are original, this one also looks like this, I have two similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Graham , respect to the silver Gallipoli star ,in the year 1993 i saw one similar in Lyon France .It was not in a Militaria seller ,it was a Currency Exchange house which sells too Silver objects and gold bullion . the absence of other mark apart the 950 was curious , the seller ventured a Vienese manufacture . the Price ,125 Us dollars .I dont buy it because I was travelling to Italy and later to Austria and Budapest and I expected to find more options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saschaw Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 With the cut out Tughra, Al Ghazi and date, this is one of the best crafted types I know, Graham! I have a very similar, but unmarked piece probably from the same workshop for sale right now, unfortunately somewhat damaged. I'm 99,5% safe these are German made, not from an Austrian maker. Please, keep in mind, Austria used very other silver marks until the early 1920s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
