    1. ​I am able to send to you a list of names who MIGHT be the recipient (a process of elimination from the list of recipients of the WkHM against those I know, those who are too young - 1946 Medal - and those who were not in SAF land force - as opposed to SOAN or SOAF), but I am not sure about the rules of this forum! My initial impression is that the recipient may well be from the Armoured Car Squadron (ACS) who had several loan service personnel who were decorated. He will not be from BATT as they were awarded UK medals and decorations. It is possible that he is an ex-BATT man, there were several working with the Firqat, but I don't see immediately anyone who fits the bill. Intriguing! There won't be many on the list though. I am still puzzled by the lack of the Omani Endurance Medal.

      Great looking little set Owain.

    2. The cross swords and kunja on the Distinguished Service Medal (Gallantry) as shown (although correctly the crossed swords and kunja should also be in miniature) is the insignia which denotes the difference between the Distinguished Service Medal awarded for meritorious service and the one you have for Gallantry! I was wondering why the recipient does not have the Endurance Medal as he would no doubt be entitled to - unless of course he had left Oman before 1976 and as the Endurance medal was usually posted to "last know address" maybe it never arrived!  

      Just bought this mini set today, can anyone explain the WW2 General service medal without Stars and the Omani medal that has like crossed daggers or swords on it. I dont normally buy mini sets into the 60s but this looked interesting so any info would be very much appreciated, Thanks everyone.
