Military medal set with the ribbon bars (Pakistan) 

I agree, the russian eagle has traditionally been double headed but the orb and spectre are two of the most prominent things seen in the russian coats of arms. These badges definitively have similarities with the russian badges though, however you do have a good point that i noticed myself

Hey Paul

Totally agreed, however there are 4 awards dedicated to Jinnah though, Nishan e Quaid-e-Azam, Hilal e Quaid-e-Azam, Sitara e Quaid-e-Azam and Tamgha e Quaid-e-Azam. I have only seen the last mentioned 

Hashim  

The first and third seem more likely to be russian as the ord and spectre have historically been a part of russian coats of arms

Haven't seen many medals with frame covering the parts of the medal, it looks old and vintage, but the frame does seem odd, others in the forum may be able to tell you more since german medals isnt my field

Hey

The only thing that bugs me is the swastika and the first number being covered by the frame, is it because of the picture angel? 

Hey

You seem to have documentation attached to the medal and that is something collectors love, pretty sure all the documentation will surely raise the price 

Regards

Hashim 

I did some more research and looks like it is unofficial, thereby has no heritage/historic value. Still looks too neat to be an unofficial medal though 

Hey, the badges do seem like polish regimental badges, are there any markings on the rear side?

Regards

Hashim

Hey, the top text is " 2001 year of Quaid e Azam", according to which i have been able to find out, this is not a official medal given by the state however it might be produced privately as an academic award or as a commemoration

Regards

Hashim 

Hey guys, stumbled upon this. Does any one have any knowledge about this? The picture in the medal is of the founder of pakistan, but is this an order? Suggestions will be welcomed 

Thats a really nice collection you have, i haven't been very deep into the post independence medals but these are surely interesting

Regards

Hey Paul

I really hope you'll be able to find the medal you're looking for, i have recently started collecting so my collection isnt that huge, i have seen many PIM online, is there a special PIM for the Pakistan air force?

Regards

Hashim

Thanks Larry, finding pictures of these orders is a bit of a challenge though 

PA stand for Pakistan Army number, a designated number which is given to every solider for the purpose of identification,  

Seem like you have a large collection of Pakistani medals, is it alright of me to ask you to publish pictures of your collection? 

Regards

Hashim 

Hey, do you still have this order? would like to know more about it

Hey Brian, really impressed over the collection you have, I do have have 10, 20 and 30 years medals since my grand dad was in the army. I was able to find a picture of the 40 years service medal, pretty sure this is the rarest medal to find
