paul wood Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hashim, The Sitara e Harb is a very collectable medal as they are named and if you can find them to officers researchable. I am glad that your grandfather's medals are in good hands. All the best, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hashim.A.Khan Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Hey Paul I have limited information regarding his career, all the information is from relatives and family, he died before I was born so I have limited information though regards Hashim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali Nouman Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Sorry to break it to you but these are FAKE. Firstly: The Second last medal should be Hijri Medal 1979 Secondly: Since these include the 10,20 and 30 years Service Medal (which were instituted for the Generals in 1991 and for the rest in 1992) this military set should include the Jamhuriat Tamgha (Democracy Medal) - 1988 and Qarardad-e-Pakistan Tamgha (Resolution Day Golden Jubilee Medal)- 1990 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Simius I agree. What I will say is that the mounting is recent, it is probable a remative found them loose in a drawer and had them attractively mounted, the named medal is clearly halal.

Ali Nouman Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 These may belong to your Grand father but still these are fake. Where's the Hijri Medal? Even Defence Personnel on duties to the Gulf Countries (Building their Armies and Air Forces), got that as well. Even my dad, posted to the then Abu Dhabi AIr Force received his Hijri Medal in 1981 and the ribbon 1980. One more thing, considering this collection has the Republic Medal 1956, and the 10, 20 and 30 year Service Medals, which were introduced to the Generals in '92 and given to everyone else by 94, where are your Grand Dad's Democracy Medal 1988 and 50th Jubilee of the Pakistan Resolution Medal 1990. HENCE PROVEN: IT'S A FAKE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Nouman Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 "Suppose the owner of this medal bar elected not to mount these common commemoratives (issued to practically everyone including the wash room attendant) along with his important gallantry, military merit and long service awards? " Bro, It's the army. A few more ribbons on their chest are like the new PLAYSTATION to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashim.A.Khan Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) I can confirm that all these medals are real. The mounting was redone as the medals were not in the best of condition once I inherited the lot. The ribbons were redone and the medals were polished. The 10, 20 and 30 year medals were added later as my grandfather was eligible given his service spanning more than 3 decades (I did consult several individuals within the army who agreed that these medals could be added). Here is the picture of the set before it was restored. Edited February 2, 2023 by Hashim.A.Khan correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
