Jersey Buoy, 

That’s a very nice example of a belt with enameled branch of service insignia, thanks for posting. That’s the arm shield for the Infantry (al-Misha’a in Arabic). That particular design was used until around 2000 (I think, need to consult my notes).

 

Owain,

Your example may be a keychain. It’s particularly nice in that the reverse reads “Infantry Day, 2 April 1972.” That establishes several things: The specific date for the Infantry branch’s commemorative day, that your award was presented to an exemplary infantry enlisted man or officer, and that this particular design was used as early as 1972.

 

Best,

Chris

 

Thank you for your informative posting.

Yeah, on second though I will have to agree with you about the "sweet heart" concept.

Thank you for translating the writing.

a better picture.

Or possibly a "sweet heart" piece?

It took me a while to ID this belt but thanks to fellow collectors it was ID'd.

It was replaced by a new design in 1973.

Don't know if it is a rare bird but I have yet to see another.

Just came in the mail today and it is NICE!

Enjoy.

Finally found mention of a Cuban Guards unit on line.

2nd Guards Aviation Brigade Girón Beach

The Playa Girón Guard Aviation Brigade, based in San Antonio de los Baños, is an elite unit of the DAAFAR. The San Antonio de los Baños air base was built at the end of the Second World War. In 1976, the unit stationed there received the current name of the Playa Girón Guards Aviation Brigade. In April 1961, was responsible for the defense of Cuba during the Bay of Pigs Invasion.^[13] Among its notable members was Cuban cosmonaut Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez. It is a recipient of the Antonio Maceo Order, which was awarded to it in 2014 on its 55th anniversary.^[14] In October 2019, the regiment called for the immediate release of former Brazilian President and leader of the Workers Party, Luis Inacio Lula da Silva.^[15]

Thanks pride.

Hello,

I posted this on another forum but could not get any details about it's use.

Specifically who, when, where, etc.

I would love to see a picture of this buckle in use.

Due to it's size I would say it is a pistol belt buckle.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Greetings Friends!

I realize this is an old thread but I just picked up 2 Cuban Guards off of ePay for what I would consider cheap.

I have as of yet found any information concerning who would be issued this badge and why and I can't find one picture of an Abuela o abuelo wearing one.

Does anyone out there have said information?

Thank you all in advance.

Thank you.

That  infantry buckle is loooooong gone.

I have another buckle, Alphonso XIII crown, Infantry, but it is stamped brass.

I think most of them were de-crowned and used by both side in the Spanish Civil War.

I will post it tonight after work. about 2000hrs., EST, USA.

Here it is.

Danke vell sonfelski.

WOW!

A little light at the end of the tunnel!

Danke vell.

Just thought I'd bump this posting up and get some fresh eyes on it.

I still have not found a definite ID for this buckle.

Thank you chechaco1.

Thank you Sergey.

Do you know if this was worn on a brown or black leather belt?

Thank you.

Very nice.

Eres muy gracioso.
 

I will look for that subforum.

No date of makers mark on the back.

Boris,
Muchas gracias por la información sobre mi hebilla.
¿Considerarías que esta es una hebilla difícil de encontrar?
¿Es deseable para los coleccionistas en España?
¡Mantenerse sano!
