Here are two from my collection. Both were chance reunites to QSAs but I'm still looking for Ingram's KSA. The top ribbon bar on Dolman's Star also has 'Oct.15-Feb. 15' engraved on it. Dolman's QSA shows his rank as 'C. QR. MR. SJT.' but his Star shows his rank as 'Z.M.S.' possibly because the engraver misread the Q for a Z on a written note.

They are very nice.
