Paul, the Jordanians were heavily British biased in the uniforms and insignia, up until the 1970's when they transitioned over to US supply.

Peter, Owain, thanks for the welcome and the information. Union Guard interesting, I'll see if I can find out more. Steve.

This is my first post. I normally collect helmets but was working in Israel for a long period last year and started picking up insignia form arab armies as a distraction. I’ve managed to identify most of the stuff I have but a few of them I can’t. Hopefully one of you will be able to help. The first one is the epaulette badge on the left, shown next to an Arab Legion badge for scale, I think it’s Jordanian, the backing plate is the same for both badges. The second, is the badge on the right with the crossed swords and grenade, shown next to a Syrian infantry collar badge. No idea where it is from, it has a screw back. Lastly, the badge on the left I believe is Jordanian border guard, the one on the right I have no idea. Thanks in advance for your help.
