Brian Wolfe Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hello Everyone,This medal just arrived and I bought it listed as being from India. I knew it was not from India when I purchased it and suspected it to be from Thailand. The medal is hinged to the hanger and is made of a light metal but I don't think it is aluminum as it is too heavy for it to be made of that material. The ribbon looks to fit the hanger in a neat manner so as to lead me to think is is original. Can anyone shed some light as to the country of origin, what is was issued for, the date of issue and whether the ribbon is correct or not?Your help is much appreciated.Cheers Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
