Hi,

That is a beautiful medal. I have not seen another. Any word as to the number awarded?

[sabrigade]

There is definitely a silver version.Some examples are found mounted in a beautiful dark blue box/case and others in the more mundane plastic type bags.I will post these when I get home in a few weeks time.

Do you have any pictures of the two displays you had at Johannesburg Military Museum. You had the Saddam's Military medals display and the large group of medals of Iraqi ODM display. Did the museum have like a card or a brochure with pictures of your Iraqi ODM collection. If so I would like to purchase a copy of it.

Thank you

God Bless

I have forwarded a file with photographs that my wife took of the display.Internet facilities are very limited where I am currently in the Sudan but will try make up for it when I am home in December.I will be travelling to Florida in January for a company conference.The file has been forwarded to your private address.

The silver or second class award as discussed in December 2007.
