      • The second Patriotic Women’s Association badge that I recently purchased is another Special Supporter Member Badge. This example is what I call a “true” 4th variation, so defined because the pin on the reverse is like the pin on the Medals of Asia page referenced in my post from yesterday, May 2nd. This is in contrast to the example about which I posted on August 21st of 2023, which I labeled a possible “hybrid” given the fact that the pin construction was different.   Out of the five variations the only one not currently in my collection is the 2nd variation.   Tracy   Special Supporter Member Badge 4th variation obverse:     Special Supporter Member Badge 4th variation reverse:  
      • According to friends give above information , it could not be an Albanian medal , especially it is a single head eagle, not like two head eagle of Albania, I think it could be from English countries, like USA.
      • I am very late to this thread, however I wanted to say thanks for the detailed information about the makers of the award.
      • Above is an advertising card for Tewfik Bichay from a recent eBay offering. The text is identical to that seen on the back page of an Arabic and English language advertising flyer for Tewfik Bichay. The back page of that flyer is shown as the 6th photo in my post on this thread of 21 September, 2020. This card has holes at the top from being stapled to something in the past. There are no markings on the reverse. This card measure 124 mm wide x 92 mm tall.
