Ba'ath Party Membership Certificate

I picked these up during my first trip to Iraq in 2003. It looks like the two on the right bear the Saddam Fedayeen helmet, I really have no idea what they represent. I have other Iraqi army insignia, patches, helmets, I will post a few pics in hopes that anyone could shed some light on exactly what they represent.

I found a 2nd award variation at vicmart.com, but I don't know about the copyright on the photo so I won't post it here. I also saw a 3rd award variation sold on ebay for about $250 USD. Does anyone know if that is about what the market price for this badge is currently at? Also, what is the policy on ebay photos? I saved the photos of the 3rd award variation, but don't want to violate any rules by posting it here.

Does anyone have one of these badges? I am assuming that they are fairly uncommon, only because I don't see one posted here. Any info would be great!

I was recently browsing online and I saw this badge offered as "WW1 ITALY WAR WOUNDED VETERANS BADGE MUTILATI INVALIDI". Has anyone seen this badge before?

Do you have any of the two piece CIBs? I recently saw one and am interested in further information about them. Nice badges, I like the uncommon backs of the first one. Sivart

Thanks for the clarification JB.

I recently aquired a Meritorious Service Citation for a PVT John E. Lawler, E Btry 103rd FA. I am curious if anyone knows how many of these certificates were produced and if the president's signature was printed at the same time as the rest of the citation or if it was added later.
