demir Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) No 3 looks like The Ottoman Order Of Talent awarded for “talent, science and skill”, or Life Saving Medal. Best wishes Edited October 22, 2020 by demir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes Thank you Demir. Because he's a military person, I think it's more likely to be the Life Saving Medal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avsaribar Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Just a correction on the photo ; (1) marked Breast Star is an Osmanie as mentioned . But (1) marked Osmanie Badge is Not an Osmanie Badge , it is an Medjidie Badge . Btw , can not guarantee without measuring but i think that set is a Grand Cross set of Osmanie .. (2) marked Breast Star is Medjidie , it is right but (2) marked badge is the Osmanie's badge , not Medjidie ... So there was criss-cross mistake ... : ) Avsar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, now I see that I marked them wrongly. So, you think the Osmaniye Set is 1st Class (Grand Cross) and the Medjidie Set is 2nd Class, correct? I still think the Osmaniye Set is 2nd Class, because I have information that he was awarded this order on 6 April 1904, when he was still a Kapitan zur See. This rank is too low for him to be awarded the Grand Cross. Edited October 9, 2021 by Kriegsmarine Admiral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avsaribar Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I worked with the pictures , photo shoots and scans of the Osmanies and Medjidies a lot when i was publishing my book and from my experiences my eyes told me that the proportions of the Osmanie Breast Star in the pictures seems to be a Grand Cross Breast Star... But again i would like to mention here that we can not say definitely without measuring the diameter of the Breast Star unless it is a Diamond one ... ( All Diamond Medjidies and Osmanies are Grand Crosses no matter their sizes .. ) Avsar Ibar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
