THE WW1 GALLIPOLI STAR


Recommended Posts

SOMETHING DIFFERENT,

a ww1 Gallipoli star,

once a very common medal in collectors terms,

but now the genuine articles are much sought after these days,

and there are a few pristine ones about that I have seen,

and in my opinion too pristine !, no history behind them,

this example is well worn and shows a great deal of wear consistent,

with its age ,

as seen in the first 2 photos ,

this was a Turkish award but was awarded to the Germans as well,

as seen in thefollowing 2 photos of A) a Turkish officer

and B) a German soldier,

also included is a link to the history of the Gallipoli star
