    1. Dan,

      The dates are indeed 1947 - 1997 - thanks for noting my mistake. The Ba'ath flag is identical to the Palestinian flag. On checking the image it is, to my mind, Michael Aflaq, the founder of the Ba'ath party.

      Regards,

      Owain

      Owain,

      I appreciate for your assistance.

      Kind regards,

      Dan

    2. Hi Owain,

      Thank you so much!

      For thr dates, I think it is 1947-1997.

      According to the following picture. But I am not sure. Is it right?

      In addition, I think the guy in the middle is Mahmoud Abbas from Palestine with their national flag.

      Thanks again.

      Kind regards,

      Dan

    3. Looks a lot like one of the medals given to Junior ROTC Cadets by the U.S. Reserve Officer's Association. On the other hand, at least one toy company believes this is a WW2 toy, probably given out by the Quaker Company in Canada (see: http://www.hakes.com/item.asp?AuctionItemID=17903). I think it is probably one of the Reserve Officer's Association awards, but I don't have a good reference available.

      Thanks a lot, Doc.
