And here are one each from the Air Defense Forces and the Navy, purchased from Bichay in the early/mid-1990s. On the Air Defense (top) one: - Sinai Liberation; Air Defense Forces Day - October 6 Memorial; Army Day Commemorative; Twentieth Anniversary of the Revolution On the Navy (bottom) one: - Victory Medal; Sinai Liberation; Long Service and Good Example - October 6 Memorial; Navy Day; Tenth and Twentieth Anniversary of the Revolution These groups raise more comments: - The top one lacks the 10th anniversary of the revolution medal, it's very rare not to see both the 10th and 20th worn together - Why would a member of the Air Defense Forces, a separate military branch, also wear the Army Day medal? Did he switch branches at some point? - How could the recipient of the Navy group be eligible for the Victory Medal (awarded for the 1956 War) without earning some of the other Nasser-era commemorative medals? This -- and many other observations -- make me strongly inclined to believe that the ribbons of Nasser-era commemorative medals are "re-used" for other purposes, or possibly that some Egyptian officers wear ribbons they're not eligible for. I should add that, since these were manufactured by Bichay, and on display for sale there, that they were made specifically for individual officers, rather than just being "display" examples in the hope that random foreigners like myself would walk in.....
