This is currently my favorite medal I own. Here is a Turkish Star (sometimes referred to as a "Gallipoli Star", but not to be confused with the British medal of the same name). The Germans call it, "Eiserner Halbmond", or Iron Crescent, and was awarded to Germans (and others) who fought with Ottoman troops in Turkey, Palestine, etc. This one is a German jeweler's high-quality copy, and is marked "935" on the reverse. A stunningly beautiful badge, with excellent enamel.
