Mixed British Indian Army badges + WWI medal found in India — need help identifying
Hey everyone,
I recently came across this small collection of old military items here in India and wanted to get some expert opinions.
From what I can tell:
- The center medal looks like a 1914–15 Star (so WWI era)
- I can spot shoulder titles like Royal Indian Army Service Corps (RIASC) and Indian Army Medical Corps (IAMC), which I believe were active during WWII
- There are a few other badges (H.G, a crest, button, and a whistle) that I’m not sure about
I’m mainly trying to figure out:
- Are these original pieces or reproductions?
- Which ones are actually WWII vs earlier/later?
- Any idea about the regiments for the unidentified badges?
Would really appreciate any insights or pointers. Thanks!
