notned Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 This wee group has surfaced down here on our local Trademe site...Comprising of 4 medals to a Pakistani chap.here is some info from the seller...A good Pakistan group of 4 medals on an old court mounting. The medals are the Independence Medal (1947) (wrong ribbon), The Wiliadat-I-Quaid-I-Azim Medal (the founder of Pakistan -like a coronation medal) 1976, The Hijri Medal 1979, and another I have not identified yet. The first medal is impressed to 199 F C BAQIR KHAN (I assume it is Foot Constable or Frontier Constable)If anyone wants this group...i will be happy to help.CheersPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 (edited) Interesting group. Without a Republic Medal, the group smells "made-up" though. Edited August 3, 2006 by Ed_Haynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Interesting group. Without a Republic Medal, the group smells "made-up" though. What medals are present? I would love to learn more about these colorful awards.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Thanks for the identification. It sounds like these medals were all anniversary medals? Were these medals given to everyone who was in the military at the various time periods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
