Best,Ray well not great but I have a great camera hum I wonder what that says?

I seem to be wrong more than I am right but here goes. Two medals I believe might be spanish and i am not sure why,in a way they look Japanese but i doubt it. So can anyone set me right? well maybe from Chile?

Hello Lilo sorry about the photo's as soon as i get a new cable i will be able to post better ones . I lost the cable that goes from camera to computer and have to put them on my wife's computer burn them to a disk and then put them on my computer ( she does not allow me to screw up her computer ). You say in 1969 is it really that new? Also it looks like there had been a name on it but it was ground off,were they named? thanks,Ray an add on can you tell me what the ribbon should be on this medal? thanks again

Oh well you win some and you lose some. Thank you for the info.

Hello I am trying to determine what a book I came across might be worth. the name of the book is British and Foreign orders, War Medals, and Decorations by A A Payne L.R.C.P., M.R.C.S. a mouthful it was by subscription . Printed in 1911. I think this info is correct. The book is only in fair condition its all there the front and rear covers are trying to come loose . I have taped the covers with cloth tape I have a few photo's i will put up as soon as I can.and thank you for looking,Ray.

Just want to say thank you to everybody who put up info here,this is great. oh any one have these medals they want to sell?no I am not kidding.

Hello and thank you. GSM that is what i wanted to know. Well while you are there will you get me a couple of the DSM medals? Yea right Ray. Best to you,Ray

Lilo will you please tell me which medals these 3 are? DSM or GSM?as i do not know what is what. thank you,Ray

Three,I feel blessed to have one. Can someone please tell me what the three medals pictured are? And again thanks to everyone,Ray

Eddie and Paul I want to thank you both. Paul the medal I have is not marked copy nor is the letter missing and the person I bought it from insists its the real thing thou it does not have a name. He had a bronze one marked with the # but I was to slow to get it. He is in New York so it would be stupid of him to lie as it not far from me so I kind of think he believes it is real and I have no doubt as to his sincerity.Lord knows I guess. Eddie the info on the Sudan medal was for me a nice treat as far as what I paid. Thank you both again. One can always count on Paul for help.best,Ray

Hello,i do hope this is the proper place for this. I need help with two medals I have come across,both from Africa . I will let the pictures do the asking but the questions are different ,the first a Nigeria 1886-1897 is it a fake ??. The second a 1933 Sudan Defence Force general service medal can anybody tell me anything about it?I have looked to no avail . Thank you for looking and any help at all,Ray

Besides the help I received on this medal the two people who responded answered many questions I had and I wish to thank them again here.best,Ray

Wow I need to thank you for the medal information as well as for the ribbons and do you know where I can purchase the ribbon for this medal?altho the ribbon on it does look good.:::<)

Hello again Paul,you are quite amazing but I may have said that already. I tried to get a picture of the rim but.The rim has on it 449 khuda bakrsh khan all in caps and the r in bakrsh may be a k or h not sure.date on reverse looks like 1912 but.Oh thank you again. To think that I have been wandering aimlessly about for two years trying to find people that know something of these medals,this web site is awesome and I do not use that term very much at my age.I bought a sub to this because to find this info is most worth it. thanks

A recent find that I know nothing about and looking for some help. thank you in advance. there is a date on the reverse bottom that is 1912 or 13 I think other than that,lost. It came from India which means little or nothing.http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_08_2013/post-16073-0-16426400-1377133897.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_08_2013/post-16073-0-38183300-1377133964.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_08_2013/post-16073-0-17455000-1377134029.jpg

Paul would you (well of course you would) have an idea of value? and thank you again.

You sir are quite amazing. Until I found this place I had asked many people and no one knew anything to go as far as calling it a fake. Thank you very much,Ray

I purchased this of a fellow in Great Britain and I have no idea what it is neither did he.thanks to all for any help

While I am at it I am looking at 2 others and wonder if you would help.Also does anyone know what the wording is on them?

Hello and thank you very much.Honesty is a most honored pastime. anyway I thought as much of the first one the second I had no idea. So the first one IF I could find a proper crescent and add it to it that would be ok? The other gad why would anybody do that and is there anything I can do? thank you again,Ray
