This is a wonderful catch Emmanuel, congratulations

If you need some extra details on Nepalese medals, i would recommend you to reach out to Prof Ramesh Kumar Shrestha via Facebook he can be of great help

The last two ribbons look like ribbon for Indian independence medal 1947 and 20 years long service medal

Not much information is available however I have a cap badge in my collection.

Hope you find this image useful

Researching OR is very difficult, unless your gentlemen was into a big action which is well documented for civilians.

Double strikes are indeed clerical errors and these kind of medals turn up time to time in India 

Hi All, 

I recently managed to reunite ww1 trio awarded to 2/Lt A. E. Azevedo of Royal engineers / postal department.

He served as superintendent of Bombay foreign posts and was awarded MBE in 1919 and ISO in 1939.

I tried looking for his photograph online but no luck, wondering any of our group members can guide me on how to get a photograph of him.

Thank you Peter

Recently added a single war medal awarded to a lady for services during world war 2

British war medal -

Very nice, ribbon looks similar to indian 20 years long service medal

Hello Hoopa,

Yes there is a certificate associated with every foreign mission you go are chosen for, for an example the U.N. medal and videsh seva medal associated to it will also have a completion/commendation certificate from head of mission and force commander.

Hi Cazack,

Following are a few good contacts

1. Goga jain from Gole market near to Connought place.

2. Army Equippers can be a good option for ribbons (no medals) provided owner is in good mood.

3. Rakesh Jain from Manidhari Jewellers near to Gurudwara chandani  Chowk

4. Vijay Kumar near to Sikh museum chandani Chowk

5. GD Verma & Sons chandani Chowk for ribbons.

I hope you will find this helpful.

Hey Paul

Do give me a word on this

 

This is British Indian blood donor badge

His General Service medal would be with clasp Jammu and Kashmir 1947 missed out mentioning that

I will try to figure out the ribbon bar, since it's a black and white picture that makes it little difficult guess.

Top left to right - 1. General Service medals 2. Paschimi Star 3. Samar Seva Star, 4. Raksha Medal 5. Ribbon not clear (possibly Sangram) 6. Sainya Seva Medal (possibly there but not clear in pic) 7. 20 years long service medal 8. 9 year long service medal 9. Indian independence medal 10. 1939 - 45 star 11. Burma Star 12. British war medal 13. India service medal

I hope you find this helpful

@peter monahan this is Burmese equivalent to title badge, the difference is this is made out of gold and title badges were struck in silver

Just now, Mike McLellan said:

 Beautiful. I’ve never seen one before. When Professor Google called it a “gold medal”, was he refering to the colour or the content of the metal? Very nice, indeed!

Mike

Yes Mike it seems it's referring to it's content.

There were 3 categories if this medal, however I have never seen other two

Nice group!  To whom is it named?

Hugh

Named to Lt. Col O.P. Dutta of Arty, there is a progression in rank from captain to Lt. Col

Not sure if this Burmese award is included in forum

Sadly this is a unnamed medal

Google search says "A large (51mm) gold medal awarded during the colonial period. The Burmese on reverse reads: Ahmu-dan-gaung Tazeik-ya Min (An official who has been awarded the medal for good service) and entitled to use the letters ATM after his name. The two other levels of the order were: Kyet thaye zaung Salweya Min (An official who has been awarded the Sash of Glory) and used the letters KSM after name; Thuye gaung ngwe Daya Min (An official who has been awarded the Silver Sword for Heroism) and used the letters TDM after name. "

Here is a territorial army medal group, which lives with me

A territorial army decoration group

For sure Peter,

Yes you are spot on, I am based in India, with my primary collection theme as post 1947 Indian Army, state and police medals.

It's always a pleasure to help fellow collectors as I have been helped by many time and again, if I can be a help to anyone it will be nice

Hi Brian,

You are a respected & learned senior collector and you surely know more people in the hobby then we newbies would know.

 We would for sure need your guidance and help

Regards

Amit
