    If anyone can help me identify the medals shown in the pic I'd be ever so grateful. Especially the cross-shaped one.

    OBE 1st GSM, then ? then UN with Kosovo bar, Telic/osm? Kuwait after perhaps. Nothing out of place for a retired WO/ LE

    Is that a police tunic?

    Thanks everyone, knew it would be mystery solved in minutes few with the help of the experts on arrse.

    Jacob, yep, although they were picked up in a previous life.

    Not so-last 2 are Omani: Omani GSM (probably with clasp 'Dhofar' in Arabic script) and the Omani Peace Medal. Given that his Brit GSM has only one clasp, it's a fair bet that it's 'Dhofar' and not 'Northern Ireland'.

    A nice group: where did you see these?

    Nice, especially if they are Dhofar!!

    I stand corrected, and gladly at that!

    Yeah, seems he was a bit special in previous incarnation. Don't want to embarass myself or anyone else by saying too much!

    P_C: would you object if I posted that pic on another (medal collector) site? It's probably a unique group and would be sure to have grown men dribbling like an 85-year old with Parkinson's.

    If not, I can understand your reluctance.

    Depends - could you possibly get a slightly more grainy picture to help out a bit?

    (Probably Telic, QDJM then VRSM)
