A very nice collection and interesting to see the Urdu newspaper used as a stiffener on the Pagri badge.

Is that badge sand-cast? It looks like a die-stamped badge to me judging by the rear detail?
Cheers,

Alex,

there are some flaws to the obverse that suggest locally made but i am not an expert on sand cast.
