This medal was Instituted in 1972 to award active service personnel who fought in the war with India between 3-16 December 1971. It was a very short war as within 13 days India had a very clear advantage and the Commander of the Pakistan forces surrendered.

We have offered some medals from Pakistan in the past but there has never been such a good deal as this one! We have taken delivery of some new stock and the supplier had made up some sets of 11 different Pakistan medals. It seemed a shame to break them up as they are all neatly packaged and labelled a ready-made collection. We normally sell these medals individually for between £12.50 and £18.95 so our price of £98.50 for 11 different medals (less than £9 each) makes these sets very popular indeed. You could hardly make the medals for that price these days. Get in quickly as there is limited availability of these sets at such a great price. The set consists of the following 11 medals, all come with their ribbons, are in a plastic envelope and labelled as to what they are. The ribbons alone make a very colourful display.

Tom Brady started his professional career in the NFL back in the year 2000. He was selected 199th overall by the New England Patriots in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. That means that six quarterbacks were picked before him that year. He is perhaps the NFL's biggest draft steal and one of the biggest underdog stories, not just in American Football, but also in sporting history. He was described by NFL scouts as "Poor build, skinny, lacks great physical stature and strength, and gets knocked down easily." But yet, he went on to become the greatest player in American Football. He achieved 6 super bowls while playing for the New England Patriots and won another super bowl in his first year playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He is the greatest! He has been in 10 Super Bowls winning 7 of them. At 44 he retired for a few months and is coming back this Autumn. He holds almost every record as a quarterback, passing yards, completions, and of course touchdowns. He is the oldest quarterback ever chosen for the Pro Bowl. In soccer you have Pele, in American football, you have Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. This is a fantastic set of five crownsized medallions in a presentation case each with a different full-colour photo. If you or a friend like American football then you will want one of these impressive collections. A great collection, honouring one of the biggest underdogs in sporting history!

The 101st Airborne Division, or “Screaming Eagles” as they are nicknamed, is an elite division of the United States Army that specializes in air assault operations often operating behind enemy lines. Originally established in 1918 they gained renown for their role in Operation Overlord (D-Day landings). They were also deployed to Vietnam in 1967 and were referred to as the “Chicken Men” by the Vietnamese because of their insignia. Enemy commanders are said to have warned their men to avoid the Chicken Men at all costs because they were sure to lose any engagement with them. These medals honour this elite combat division and show an armed soldier walking through long grass with a helicopter in the background and the words “101st Airborne Division” above and “Screaming Eagles” below with the insignia of the unit to the right, a bald eagle. The reverse of the medal has the seal of the United States Army. These medals are gleaming gold-plated and supplied in a protective capsule.
