This is an WW1 Turkish Gallipoli star, right ??
I have a pic of an Allgemeine SS Member wearing one of these.
Here is the pic.

Hi brian, yes thats one alright , heres a photo you might like wearing a star also...
Very nice, thanks for showing it.
I love seeing these ultra rare pics.

Hi Darren,
It's really hard to judge that STAR from the photos. Originals of these were made by a few different makers
so there are some variations in pins, catches, enameling and quality. There are also fakes of these being made.
I do not own one for you to compare against so I have added this link to another forum that shows several
different examples.----

I was addicted to the "Hokey-Pokey" but I've turned
myself around.
Darren, as Greg has said, difficult to give an opinion on this Star, would need better photographs...it looks to be a "painted" type (Turkish made), see this thread here on our site https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/imper...s-x-2-a-18706/, where the "Star" is discussed and examples are shown, fom my own "salty" Turkish one to exquisite German produced varients. Greg, I have no problems with links to other sites, as long as it is for the benefit of our members, and this link clearly is...thanks for showing.
Prost ! Steve.
Thanks Greg and Oradour for the links..the detailing on the back of this one has put me off..

Gents,
Can anyone comment on this one, please. I do not know if its original nor the marker. Thanks in advance!
OTTER76, a nice original piece, probably made in the twenties, a private purchase Jewellers piece (hence no markings), silver washed (now sadly worn/polished off), similiar pin/hinge and fastner to observed same period made Iron Cross 1st class, probably German or Austrian made. These awards have been observed with vertical and horizontal fastenings/pins, and even with a suspension ring attached ! (for ribbon attachment on a bar). Prost ! Steve.
