RARE AND ORIGINAL AND INDIAN SERVICE MEDAL 1945 named

A rare and original Indian Service Medal named from 1945 does not refer to a known official medal awarded by the British or Indian authorities during World War II, as the India Service Medal (1939-45) was specifically awarded unnamed to Indian forces for non-operational service. However, “named” medals are sought after and may be original for other campaign medals, such as the General Service Medal (GSM), which would feature a recipient’s name engraved on the rim. There may also be a misunderstanding or it could be a medal from a private organization that is not officially recognized.
