Kingdom of Afghanistan Medal for Campaign Against Konar State repurposed Bridal
Kingdom of Afghanistan Medal for Campaign Against Konar State repurposed as a bride’s dress or hat centerpiece. It looks like the original suspension loop was removed and reused at top, and combined with a stone. Loop at top is sealed, not a split ring. It’s common to find coins and trinkets repurposed for brides but this is one of the few medals I saw repurposed. Must have made Grampa proud! I have no way of knowing what the stone is, Afghanistan is so full of semiprecious stones that GIs used to follow dump trucks of fill and then grab rough gems and tumble them back in their hooch.
