Turkish war medal Gallipoli Petz & Lorenz

Like to show you my newest acquisition, this Turkish war medal, from who I think its from Petz & Lorenz. I would gladly like to hear your opinions about it!
Specially because you don´t find much about this Turkish war medal, from this specific maker. I think they are quite rare?

Was this one on eBay?

A very nice one and a bit of a sleeper. It has the characteristic Petz and Lorenz hardware.

Thanks!

No not from E-bay.
I personally never saw one on E-Bay. Indeed you are right, its is a sleeper....the only wear is some corrosion!
If someone know the value of such a piece, please send me a PM?

Hey Green

I like this one, I am not far from believing it is a period piece but Petz & Lorenz is not listed in Demir Erman's book The Turkish War Medal. There are 10 makers listed in the book but if we find more legitimate examples from this maker maybe we have a new official maker! Even as a period piece they had taken great leaps of artistic creativity in writing the the tugra, gazi and the date on the front. I will check some period photos and try to find similar medal to this.

Hello Tan,

At first..... thank you for your reaction.
I have seen the photos of two other similar examples on a German forum.
