    Unknown Afghan Medals - Can you ID them?


    Recommended Posts

    Posted (edited)

    Hello all,

     

    Can anyone assist me with identify the three medals in the images enclosed? I acquired them all in Afghan bazaars for very modest sums. The one on the left with the tricolor ribbon was identified as a mujahideen medal associated with Ahmed Shah Massoud by the seller--who may or may not have been well-informed and honest.

     

    Thanks,

    T.S.A.
