Pacific Star

[uscob]

Working on all my Stars at the Moment and want to show the Pacific Star, sadly the only one I have.
Marked to a Sepoy of the F.F.:R. I guess it's the 12th Frontier Force Regiment.
am I right with this?
I guess it's one of the rarer ones as not marked to a standard or big Unit.
How much would it be worth today? Can't remember what I paid 25 yrs. ago.
Does anybody can tell me a good site to compare good or bad Stars? Also the others.
Don't want to show all of them here to let others do my Homework.

Killed the day Singapore fell

'Colonial' medals are not as sort after as British units. But the fact that he was very sadly killed makes it more interesting to some collectors.

An unnamed star is £40ish now. I feel this one is £80 to £125

Thanks a lot for the Info Adam!
Especially for the Link.

The naming style - lettering. spacing and so on - is standard for IA named WWII medals.

Thanks Peter!
Here's another one with a question.
Is it a good or a bad one?
My feeling is more for bad.

[uscob]

another question, is this a good clasp?
Or if not how do I detect fakes from good ones.
Had a Webite about but lost the files through the ages.

I would agree a bad '14-15 start', unnamed , pit holes in the back, unsharp details and rounded points sure sign of a cast.

Hi
Africa Clasp is a good one and so is the Pacific Star.

1915 Star is a cast copy

Agree with CCFC on both the '15 Star - a poor copy and the WWII clasp and star.

[uscob]

So if I get you right,
the 15 is Bad
the Africa is OK.

[peter monahan]

Yes.
