Josef Rietveld Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) In the meantime i habe been told that this medal comes from pakistan and is called Medal of the great Leader (Tamgha-i-Quaid-i-Azam) Type 1 from 1957-1975, gilded bronceThe frontside reads :Iman, Ittahad, Nazam = Faith-Unity-Disciplineunfortunately i found no pic on the web.Ed Haynes can you confirm this ID ??haynau Edited July 9, 2007 by haynau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) Thanks to the person who sent the PM suggesting I look here. Normally I'd pass on the great quantity of German stuff that floats up.Yes, this seems to be the Pakistani Tamgha-i-Quaid-i-Azam / Medal of the Great Leader, the lowest medal connected to the order of the same name. It is either type one or type two, though the changes in this order are very confusing and sources are sparse (and about to get worse, it seems). Whichever variety, the ribbon seems wrong, but it is clearly for the pre-1986 style of the order. Edited July 9, 2007 by Ed_Haynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
