I have recently taken delivery of this figure. Unfortunately no painting instructions were available.
I am in the main o.k . re the painting of the figure but I need advice re the medals shown on the figure.
The officer has 3. I can paint the first 2 as Indian General Service Medals -- the 1896 and 1909 issues. The 3rd medal though is the problem- it looks like a star rather than a round medal. I doubt it can be the Indian Order of Merit as it is the last medal in the line regarding precedence. The figure is a some point from 1886 onwards, as he has white facings.
Any clues?
Sadly enlarging the Chota Sahib image on Mirof's excellent site does not give good enough definition to resolve my question.
Many Thanks in expectation.
