An ottoman Turkish award (Harp Madalyasi), won and worn by Germans and many examples produced by Germans.

The pin appears to have been a replacement at some time in it's life.

I'll post an example on a stick pin in hopes of generating more interest and hoping to stimulate others to post their awards.

This miniature is the last example I have.

Someday If I'm lucky I may get a Godet or a Beco marked piece or even a J. H. Werner. cool

Would really be great to see some other examples. whistle

DJ,

Hopefully a nice Godet will come your way soon, I know you've been searching a fair while for just the right one. Good things come to those who wait, right? wink

Sorry I don't have a nice Halbmond to add to the thread, wish I did. I know Matt Calderone had several beautiful examples over the last few years as they're a favorite of his.

Methinks that things will start to pick up again shortly here on the forums, summer's closing fast.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to say thanks for all your hard work here on the various forums; cross-referencing data from related threads, reviving interesting topics and straightening things out in general ... nice work sir!

one more thing ... please thank your wife for figuring out the camera settings. smile

Best!

B~

I'm rater embarrassed to show this one because of my photographic skills, but in the interests of keeping the thread going here we go. No marks on the reverse.

Tristan,
I have seen the reverse hardware setup before so a manufacturer may be identified from that by someone who knows these awards.

I have no camera skills just a smart camera.
