Sorry, I did not get back with you sooner but here is the photo of the beret. I didn't know if you want to see the full set with the uniform and gear.

oes not seem to correspond with either Yugo or US 60mm rounds......

Maybe a UK or a Romanian 60mm round?

Lion,

The Arabic reads,

60mm Mortar

Sh - F - T

63/1 - 81/9

Thank you Owain for the translation.

Thanks for posting!

The 60mm is not a very common mortar caliber -- the biggest user was the US, particularly the WWII-era M2 and M19 mortars. Not sure if the UK used this. I'm sure a few made their way to the Middle East, including (possibly) Jordan, Saudi Arabia, etc. Yugoslavia also made a 60mm mortar (M57), not sure if any made their way to the Middle East.

Thank you for that, Here I was thinking that it was a western made.

Could very well be a Yugo. Shell, we supplied a lot of weapons/tanks etc. to some of the Arab states.

the Tip of the shell looks like it is missing.

Well, I know that Yugoslavia was close to both Syria and Egypt.

I am guessing 1960s? or 1970s?

Hello, Everyone.I recently got this Mortar Shell from an estate sale in Israel/Palestine. I have been trying to figure out what country could had used it. Any ideas? I am guessing Jordan, maybe?

Thank you!

and I am sure this one is a "remake" :-)

For some reason, I want to say that one is from Lebanon.

Hello everyone, I am just getting into collecting a few Indonesian Items but I got this piece off of Ebay and I have no idea what it's for? Would anyone happen to have a clue and I am guessing that it is from the 1960s or 1970s?

Hello Owain, Thanks again for all your help. Sorry I didn't thank you sooner, I was overseas for a bit.

anyone?

I don't know about it being one of a kind but it could just given to a specific unit? I really need to brush up on my arabic.

Beautiful haul... especially the Red Star. Where did you find that? I have been looking for one

The last one doesn't look middle eastern to me. I was thinking about southeast asia. Maybe Indonesia or some place in Indochina??

The first one is a visor badge from the Yemeni Arab Republic " North Yemen"

The green one is from the Republic of Egypt, 1950s. That is also a beret badge.

Hello, I got this medal from an auction. This medal belonged to a Soviet Officer. Normally I have no issue on Syrian medals but this one have me stomp. Does anyone know this award by chance and could their have been a ribbon with it?

The RG is Black but it have a red enameled or cloth strip next to the eagle. They are hard to find.

The feyadeen is Black with a saddam enameled pin.

The logistics. I have to look at my collection and I have to get back with you on that one.

I was told that the Black was used by both the Navy and Fedayeen

Republican Guard, Fedyeen, supply and logs.

Thanks again, Owain...

Thank you Owain for all your help!!

Hello everyone, I just got this medal off of ebay and would anyone happen to know anything about it?

Thank you Owain.

I know this medal came out of Yugoslavia a while ago.

Also, do you know if there is a Saudi Medal for the few troops that serve in the Yom Kippur War?

Hello everyone, I recently pick up this medal offline and I was wondering anyone happen to know how it is and what it is for?

I am grateful for any help that anyone could give, I know next to nothing about Palestinian awards and insignia.

Sure, here is a pic of something I just pick up a few days ago. I heard that there was two version of this award. The screw back and the pin.

Hello Everyone, I want to thank everyone who has help me before and I will need your help once more. I pick up this item from a show. I know that it is in Hebrew but I have no idea, what say.

If anyone can help, I will be grateful.

Hi,

The top is the Syrian Ba'athist motto seen on many patches - "nation, honor. loyalty"

The bottom says "al-maghawir" (المغاوير), or "[the] Commandos"

If you Google the motto "nation, honor. loyalty", be careful what links you click on. The motto is used by the pro-Assad hackers of the Syrian Electronic Army, so there might be malware on a site they've hacked and left that message.

Hello Dave,

Thank you for all your help and for the heads up on the Syrian Electronic Army.

Hello everyone, I just pick up this sleeve insignia from the Bay and I was wondering if anyone would happen to be able to help me translate it?

I am thankful for any help that anyone can give.
