Dear all,

here an other commemorative Medal, 50mm :

​Dear Owain, dear all.

My cousin wife is from Morocco, she can't identify too, but she translated to me what the Surah says (in French, than i translate in English for you, so apologize for approximation)

Only God who rules this world and can neither sleep nor close eyes because he watches over this world, all that is on earth and in heaven and in the oceans belong to him, and the one who addresses him can be forgiven, it is aware of your thought

Best regards

Dear Owain, Dear All

Here same bronze/brass medal with different revers, probably verse of Koran ?

(ring was repaired)

Gentlemen, I am back on this topic after 3 years !

Dear All,

First, I would like to thank Owain for all posted interesting topics

here an other souvenir medal : 30mm, 14gms, no inscription, probably bronze

(on the back, the pin point is broken)

Regards,

Paul

Many thanks again Owain,

Do anybody knows any place to order those ribbons, even reproductions or close ones ?

Best Regards,

Paul

Gentlemen,

This is the Decoration of Military Duty, 1969, of the Libyan Arab Republic - modelled on the Egyptian medal. Many of the early medals of the Republic were modelled on the Egyptian series of military awards.

Regards, Owain

Many thanks for details Owain,

very instructing.

here is the photo of the silver one : is it like a "Class 2" ?

the ribbon fixations are light aluminium made, but don't seems repro (i hope it is not ! ) : is the correct ribbon red/white/black ?

sincerely

paul

Al-Fatah Medal

Also known as the ?Medal for the 1969 Revolution?.

Dear Gentlemen,

could you help me for identification and more details :

it's looks like the Al-Fatah Medal, but with different side

thanks in advance

Can you please share with us an exact weight for each piece, thank you

Thanks for interest

weight is around 17 pounds each ( between 7.5 and 8 kg ), i don't have a very fine scale !

Yes, both same back, and each have 2 short bolts for fixation.

here is the photo of the reverse,

it is not polished, you can see a cleaning mark in the wing (left on photo) showing the gold brass color.

i don't have the courage to clean inside yet ! it is very hard oxidation.

weight is 14 pounds each

Thanks,

In fact it was a pair : they had oxidation + old paint, i spend hours cleaning !

I still have the other one to clean, but i will need to find time !

I wish an happy New Year to all gmic members and staff,

paul

Gentlemen,

under the ribbon bar, usually on his white uniform, i wonder that is the green medal in the middle with the 6 color ribbon ?

Sincerely

Paul

Many thanks for your help, Chris

Bonjour from France

this is my first topic, please be indulgent with my poor English !

I recently found this large 18" x 17" heavy brass. It seems to be a Libyan Coat of Arms but i wonder was the center has 3 vertical sections, so not the same than on the drawings.

I hope someone could help me to confirm provenance and date area.

many thanks in advance,

paul
