    Something is wrong with FR. SEDLADZEK. Producer or distributor?

    How come a company that produced tailor-made, beautiful medals also uses peculiar patterns, tughras, dates, and especially pseudonyms when using another style hallmark. 

     

    The first type: The tughras of the FR. SEDLADZEK medals have been punched out to show the calligraphic lines. The pseudonym is round in shape. The numbers of the year are legible. Tughra, pseudonym, and dates were riveted to the main body. Hallmark is on the pin.
    The second type: The main pattern below the enamel is different. Some have no rivets, tughras, dates, and pseudonyms are shapeless, and hallmarks look handwritten or in another shape. 

     

    IMO Sedladzek was a company ordering medals and selling them with her hallmark, preferably from  CF Zimmermann of Pforzheim (for punched-out-tughra silver TWMs) and unknown producers of War Medals. 

     

    Would you like to elaborate?

     

     

    Best wishes

    • demir changed the title to Something is wrong with FR. SEDLADZEK. Producer or distributor?

    If you read what Sauerwald has written upon Sedlatzek Berlin in his book, he states that it is not proofed yet that he produced for the GOK but Sauerwald rather doubt it. He is more known for selling orders for private purchsing of owners of the legit ones. Zimmermann produced nearly everything after 1918 what the market demands. 

     

    So I would think that Sedlatzek was more a distributor then producer.

    Is it possible to send Sedlatzek section of Sauerwald's books. Thanks
