oamotme Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Ray, This is a medal from Princely state of Bahawalpur (now in Pakistan) and is, I think, the Kot Sabzal Campaign Medal of 1931 only issued in silver. If you can show the reverse the tentative identification can be confirmed. The medal can then be reposted in the Pakistan. Regards, Owain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Very Nice, It is from Bahawalpur an Indian Princely state now in Pakistan. It is the Kot Sabzal medal issued for the campaign in the North West Frontier from 1930-31 in which Bahawalpur IS forces were heavily involved. The reverse is most attractive. Quite a few of these are named on the rim. Is yours named. I have been after one for a while.All the best,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oamotme Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 This is, I think, Afghan - probably from the reign of the last King Mohammed Zaher Shah, reigned 1933-73, but the detail is unreadable. Regards, Owain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oamotme Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Ray, The medal with the camel on the reverse is the Bahawalpur North West Frontier Medal of 1920. The "kidney" shaped medal is the Jammu and Kashmir medal of 1895. The one with the ruler Sadiq Mohammed Khan wearing a fez is probably one of a series of service medals, but I need to see the reverse to identify which variant - the ribbon may be incorrect. The one with the anchor is unclear but appears to be some form of sport/prize medal. Regards, Owain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 The one with the anchor appears to be the emblem of the Pakistani Navy. Any chance of seeing the obverse? Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul wood Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 The Jammu and Kashmir Medal for the Defence of Chitral is frequently copied, there are two basic types , the one made by Gurney and Co and also locally made pieces, both can be named and are quite sought after. I have a named locally made piece.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
