lovetts cryptic

[carrottop10]

Hi all, doing an old Lovetts cryptic and stuck on 3 any help ?

Start taking a back seat when getting sharp back pain s?a??
Celluloid awards in the form of a cross ???a?s
Anxious to be seen in moth-eaten sealsskins a?n?e

These are going to be so obvious!!!

[Canary42]

Stabs (initial letters of first five words in clue)

[octogenarian]

1 Stabs

[octogenarian]

2 Medals ( navy cross )

[carrottop10]

that looks like ???a?s is oscars (anagram of a cross)

just the las one if anyone can help

Thanks

[carrottop10]

2 would be oscars as this crosses with the s in stabs

The last one is "tense"

--> moth-eaTEN SEalskins

[carrottop10]
