Dear Jeff,

I see. I wish the blue enamel was in better condition. Honest of you to mention that, tho.

Im going to Afghanistan next week, might find many of this on the market. However, Im not feeling like looking for it.

Let's make a better price and we both wil be happy

Sincerely,

Secandar

Dear Members,

Thanks for the replies.

My father confirms that this is a WAD medal, and that the colors as shown in this photo are genuine. However, he does not have the medal anymore, or a photo. Thanks to the British, who created and still funds Pakistan and - who on its own turn funds and supports Taliban - this kind of properties were forbidden to have during their reign.

Therefore, unfortunately everything is lost.

Regards,

Secandar

Hee, Can I buy this medal from you, Im interested in it, as my father was a KhAD officer during the 80s.

Thanks,

Secandar

I picked this medal up in Afghanistan, and from what I can find it is the Afghan K.h.A.D. (KGB) service medal during the Soviets time in Afghanistan. The only others I have seen all have a red ribbon with black and green stripes which is seen on other soviet-afghan medals of the time. Does anyone know anything more about this medal and the ribbon? Thanks!

Jeff
