Sal Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Picked this up the other day, don't know why the table medals form the kingdom intrigue me so much. Maybe the history and the road traveled tgo where we are now...in any event, they keep jumping out at me. This is a commemorative medal for the opening of the New Baghdad Bridge in 1957. Not sure exactly where in the metropolitan area it is.....it's about 3 inches in diameter and with it's original fitted box.The neat thing to me is the maker name on the bottom, Hugein, as well as the Iraqi store and address in Baghdad. Any information is appreciated...thanks as always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
