Hello Folks,
I have a question concerning the ribbon for the Eiserner Halbmond, (i.e. Harp Madalyası, Turkish War Medal, Gallipoli Star, et al). This week I purchased a very fine BB&Co example of the Star, (after a long and enjoyable quest), and am waiting for it to arrive from England. It will be accompanied by a ribbon that was found with the medal, (in amongst a collection of Turkish items discovered during an estate clearance). Here is a small photo of the medal and ribbon, (I can post HQ images once I have the items here):
My question is: Does anyone here think this is the origianl ribbon? I have never seen one for the TWM with the thin white band along each edge. I believe the non-combat version was the reverse color scheme from the standard combat pattern of a red ribbon with a narrow stripe of white set in from each edge. But I have never seen an example that looks like the one paired with this medal. Opinions?
Many thanks.
Lou
