Some different qardoons from my collection. Scott http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2010/post-4139-127959913267.jpg.jpg]

Thank you both for the info. The gentleman who the badge belonged to passed away last year. What I do know is that he was in England, France, and Germany. His company was assigned to Gen. Bradleys headquarters for personal security. As he was only a PFC, I thought it rather unlikely that he made a private purchase of the badge, but certainly not impossible. I have some period photos of him in Europe and a copy of a personal letter that General Bradley sent him in 1964 shortly after the 20th anniversary of the Normandy landings. I am interested in trading or selling this as it doesn't go with my current collection if anyone is interested. I would of course send the letter and other documents regarding this soldier. Thanks again Scott.

These are the Swiss made wound badges with their wrappers. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2010/post-4139-127948750406.jpg.jpg]

Hello all, I am looking for some help on this whistle and badge. I got these from a local veteran who was in Omar Bradleys 12th Army in WWII. I have never seen a Military Police badge like this and was hoping someone could tell me more about it and possibly give a valuation? Sorry for the pictures but I have a cheap camera, thanks for any help. Scott. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2010/post-4139-127948675181.jpg.jpg]http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2010/post-4139-127948679463.jpg.jpg]http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2010/post-4139-127948683473.jpg.jpg]

Here are some examples of bevo on nylon officer ranks used by Iraq. I have been told that these were for helicopter pilots, that they were made to be waterproof, and that they were made under contract in Germany... I would like to know what, if any of this is true?

Here are a few officers ranks in camo from the Saddam Hussein period. I have been told that these were for Special Forces... http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2010/post-4139-12793424863.jpg.jpg]

These are pairs of officers ranks made under contract in Germany. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2010/post-4139-127934235579.jpg.jpg]

Here is an updated shot of nylon bevo officers ranks. I have been told that these are made for helicopter pilots, that they were made to be waterproof, and that they were made under contract in Germany... Not sure how much if any of this is true. I would like to complete two sets, one for aviation and one for Army. Scott. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2010/post-4139-127934180659.jpg.jpg]

This is a rather interesting shirt as it is all wool and even the Lt.Colonel ranks on the shoulder are embroidered on a thick wool. I have never found another set of Iraqi rank like this. This pair pre-dates 1991 and were found in the home of a former high regime official by me in 2003. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2010/post-4139-127912006654.jpg.jpg]

A fairly good quality leather and canvas map case. I haven't encountered vary many of these since I began collecting Iraq Militaria. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2010/post-4139-127911979592.jpg.jpg]

While not much to look at, I believe that this may turn out to be a rarity some day. It is an Iraqi soldiers blanket. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2010/post-4139-127911963755.jpg.jpg]
