Sivart Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Here are several items I brought back for my collection. Can't ID some of them, thought I'd show the experts on the forum and see what shakes out. Enjoy!
Sivart Posted March 7, 2015 Author Posted March 7, 2015 I have a bunch of PDRA medals, nothing special. I passed on an Order of the Saur Revolution (type 1) that I am trying to get a friend in Kabul to buy and send to me.....
Paul R Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Very attractive pre Soviet medals there. I wish I could ID them for you.
922F Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 You have 1) Order of Independence [grade could be knight or officer equivalent] & a bravery medal, AND 2) Order of the Star [grade could be knight or officer equivalent] plus what looks like an Order of the Supreme Sun [grade unidentifiable, this design sometimes used as a headgear ornament. Given attachment rings, possibly yours is the latter]. Google afghanistan kingdom medal and/or see dealers' lists for for IDs and additional details. Dr. G. Tammann wrote a practically unobtainable comprehensive guide -- however, his collection and short discussions are more readily available in the 2008 UBS auction of his collection catalog which sometimes appears for sale.
