    Bakshi Badri Nath, I.P.S., Assistant Dir. S.I.B., Amritsar

    Still much research needed and some of the medals are naked, but still an interesting group. There may be some self-awarding of the two war medals here?

    President's Police and Fire Services Medal for Distinguished Service

    Bakshi Badri Nath, I.P.S., Assistant Dir. S.I.B., Amritsar

    Independence Medal 1950

    Original mounting.

    King's Police Medal for Distinguished Service

    RAI BAHADUR BADRI NATH SUPDT. OF POLICE, C.I.D. (OFFG.), PUNJAB

    London Gazette, 1 January 1948, one of those rare post-Independence "Dominion"awards of the KPM (and, note, it is still the "INDIAE IMP" variety even though those weren't the king's titles then!)

    Indian Title Badge, Rai Bahadur, George VI

    Mr. Bakshi Badri Nath, 1st Jany. 1942

    The recommendation remains elusive suggesting it was a politically "loaded" one. (And he wears this out of order, after the KPM, so I keep it there.)

    George VI Coronation Medal

    British War Medal

    Unnamed

    War Medal 1939-45

    Fantastic!!

    Why was the Independence ribbon shorter?

    The penny drops- AN UNNAMED WAR MEDAL!!??? was this standard? I have never heard of such a thing.

    Are you looking for replacement ribbons at all?

    It was issued that way. Most recipients had no other medals.

    They do show up occasionally for States' Forces, but I wonder if this was self-awarded. Police wouldn't have gotten it in any case. Same for WWII where lack of naming also a red flag.

    Thanks, but have them, Just need to dress the medals and re-scan. Many groups need that attention.
