Yes, it is a common BB&Co. and you can find tons of them around for 150-200 euros at the most. This one will be auctioned in April and the opening price is 3500 euros.
It belonged to Enver Pasha, the inspiring person in the creation this war medal. There are also some photos showing him wearing this particular BB&Co. and other ''foreign'' mades.
Many items are to be auctioned that would attract the Imperial collectors and I wanted to share them with you. If you would like to see the whole lot, you can download the catalogue as pdf here:

I'm wondering how come this medal is not already in a museum in Turkey? How many of these, owned by Enver Pasha could there be? You would think the items of such an person, so important to the modern history of Turkey, would be in possession of the state. On the other hand, perhaps it is the family selling it? Perhaps Enver Pasha had so many uniforms (like the Kaiser) that the state doesn't need another one?
