    1. Anyone know of any UK dealers that sell Indian medal ribbons? I'm particularly looking for the Paschimi Star and Samar Seva Star ribbons. Many thanks Duncan.
    2. Found it on Google, must be SI not ST, so Sub-Inspector, Border Security Force.
    3. Ohh yes, looking at it through a magnifying glass it does look like BSF. Any idea what that would be, and the ST at the start of his number?
    4. Could be? The lettering's difficult to make out, could also be BSR.
    5. On the rear of my Samar Seva medal is 'ST 123, Rura (or Pura) Ram, B. S. P. Anyone know what the ST stands for, and what unit or regiment BSP is please? Many thanks Duncan.
    6. May be that's where I'm going wrong, I was using Western characters not Cyrillic?
    7. I've been trying to use this website but everyone I enter comes back not found, even people I know are listed: http://www.podvig-naroda.ru/ Anyone know where I'm going wrong?
    8. Thank you for the translation, very much appreciate. Regards Duncan
    9. Hello, This is the award document for my latest acquisition, the Bulgarian Anti-Fascist Medal. Can some kind person please translate what's been written? I work with a lot nationalities, but as yet unfortunately no Bulgarians. Regards Duncan.
    10. Thanks for the info. Could see nothing about it on the Internet.
    11. Anyone know anything about this Greek resistance medal. Is it official or just a fantasy piece or tourist souvenir? Regards Duncan.
    12. Just found out the possible reason on Radio 4 - Ebay and PayPal have been deleting sellers from outside the UK who haven't been charging 20% Vat on what they sell. Just noticed another Indian seller I use that's disappeared. Ebay even removed the positive feedback he'd left me!
    13. Can't seem to find it at all on the Internet. Seller says it's Ukrainian partisan related. Cheers Duncan.
    14. Hi, thanks for the reply. It seems like a lot of them have fallen off lately, and a search on Ebay hasn't shown any more. Plenty of Pakistan dealers but very few India. I was wondering if they'd brought in some law banning the sale of medals or something? Regards Duncan.
    15. I used to have quite a list of Indian sellers on Ebay selling Indian medals, but they've all one by one disappeared. And a search hasn't revealed any more. Not sure why! Anyone know of any Indian dealers selling on Ebay or on the Internet?
    16. Hello, thank you for the information. Kind regards, Duncan.
    17. I believe its Yugoslavian but can't find anything about it on the Internet.
    18. Can someone please tell me a bit about these two partisan badges? Are they just cheap souvenir pieces, or were they actually awarded to partisan members? I'm guessing they're from the 1960s or 70s and seem quite cheaply made. I can't find anything about them on the internet. Thanks. Duncan.
    19. Anyone know what 'PR' stands for on the Pakistani Independence Medal, as in 2629249 Sep Allah Ditta 1 PR? Many thanks Duncan.
    20. Hello, does anyone know the significance of the VX on this man's service number, VX6443 W Frier? It's on the reverse of an Africa Star. Also, does anyone know of a South African researcher who can get WW2 service records? Thanks Duncan.
