Please help identify these two Pakistani ribbons

[Ed_Haynes]

Thanks, "taimikhan".

Lukasz and I still chase this mystery ribbon.

I have, also, posted the first of a bunch of specific questions over in another thread here (and I'd add that link if I could).

Thanks in advance.

i'll be posting a pic by tomorrow that would show you almost all of the ribbons that Pakistan Army has awarded to its men, but unfortunate it dont have this 'mystery ribbon' on it. Still i hope it would be of some help.

And i hope the doubts over the other ribbon that was in question has been clear as i have already posted about it?

Xeric,

Your assistance has been invaluable! You have solved the mystery of the grey-maroon ribbon and the Imtiazi Sanad look-alike on it. Thank you a thousand times! Please have a look at medals.pl/pk/pk1.htm to see the updated page, thanks very much to your help

Download the pics and zoom them up, the colors and writings are clearer than.

Hello everybody,

On Musharraf's uniform, the first ribbon is placed between the 30 and 40 years of service medals, which can be some hint

Lukasz check out the attached lastest photograph of Gen Kayani that mystery ribbon appearing between 30 year and 40 year seems to be definitely a 35 year service medal ... I will confirm it by tomorrow from official army badge makers as well !!

Lukas & Ed, the two ribbons details are as below.

The one between 30 & 40 years service is for 35 year service. Got it confirmed from an armed forces guy.

This one is for 35 year serice

And the other one:

This is for Staff College Course

And the one with oak leaf means, the guy has been a staff college instructor.

It is a great news indeed!!! Tamikhan, Dream and all, thanks a lot for your effort. It must be a relatively new medal, I could not find any information about it anywhere, including the Net (BTW: someone has a photo of it?). I will update my website soon!

Dream, regarding your dilemma of how to display your father's medals, it depends whether he wants do wear them or not. If he does, they definitely should be mounted to attach them easily to the uniform or civilian clothes. You can also think of two sets: one mounted, to be pinned to the uniform, the other put separately on display. I do not know what exactly medals your father has, still I guess some of them are long service and commemorative medals. I think it will not be very difficult to obtain copies and put them on display. I this way he may enjoy looking at them and at the same time he will not need to remount them when he needs to put them on. SI is a neck decoration, so it will be displayed separately anyway! Adding your father's photo along with gorgets and shoulder straps with his rank to the display can be a nice addition, too.

Thank You Very much ... my father retired some ten years back ... now he doesnt wear these medals so thats why i thought of displaying them along with Sitara-i-Imtiaz...majority of medals are distinguished service and commemorative medals ... i have made up my mind ... but just one thing left should i display medals individually or as combined bar as they are displayed on ceremonial dress ...i need suggestions from you and others including xeric... thanks

the colors are faded but the top one is the republic medal given in 1956 - my late father has it, part of his 8 decorations - 4 WWII and 4 with the PA.

the bottom one is one of those 'discontinued' types - sitar-e-hissar or something
