Laurence Strong Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Hi EdThanks for the quick response. Is it the real deal? Where could I find a ribbon for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) Real-real. 100% Let me see if I have some ribbon. Running low and need to get friends in Rawalpindi to assist. Shall advise.PS- I may have sent some to the OMSA ribbon bank, can't recall. But it will take, officially, 18 inches, but you can make do with less.Ed Edited May 2, 2007 by Ed_Haynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchBoy Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Great find Laurence!Just out of curiosity, how much would this piece cost? I'm sure it's a heck of a lot more than the $5 you paid...

Laurence Strong Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 (edited) Hi MatthaijsThanks for that I am sorry but I don't have a clue what one would cost. Edited May 3, 2007 by Laurence Strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Not a lot for third class. A TiK 2nd and 3rd class (don't know which varieties) plus a Pakistan Railways Centenary Medal went as a lot for ?40 at the recent M&E sale. $5 is a good price.

Brian Wolfe Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Hi Laurence,I hate to see a fellow Canadian stuck with such an item so I'll take it off your hands for $10.00. Seriously, nice decoration at a great price.Cheers BrianP.S. I'm still looking for a Tamgha-i-Diffa with the Siachen Glacier clasp. Have you found one yet?I'm starting to think there are only tailor's copies on the market! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear both Pakistan and India are fast movng to an all-free-market (= all-tailors'-copies) world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
