Hi, it's the "Order of the Republic" not Qassim. Nice piece!

Where did you find this one, this could be a fantasy piece with a cut of Saddam's Image like they did to the old Bakr Teachers Badges. Some sort of Breast Badge in support of Saddam.

It looks Very Nice:

Looks like a fantasy piece to me.

[Ulsterman]

But a one off? It's of very good quality for a (unique) fantasy. Hmmmmmm..... time will tell.....

[oamotme]

Not known to me - it looks so awful it could possibly be real, but I tend to side with Ed on this.

I sent a scan of the star to my friend in Iraq to see if he could help you out. His reply was that he has never seen a star like this and he has collected badges and medals in Iraq for many years . Sorry I can't help you out but I tried.
