Iraqi Button with maybe Assman mm?

[Sivart]

This makers mark look to anyone else like an Assman? The front of this button is of the Iraqi republican eagle, I think for a military or police uniform. Any thoughts?

Maybe-did Assman make buttons? The Assman 'A' I thought has a line at the top of the letter.

Assman apparently made medals for Iraq at some point. I have an Assman made bravery award from the mid 1980s and the quality is fantastic compared with other later 9and perhaps fake) Iraqi medals.

Do you have a picture of the front of this button?? The detail of the "A" is the same as the many military items manufactured by Assman for Iraq.

Here is a picture of a group of these buttons, I don't recall if the silver ones were marked and I didn't take a picture of the back of them. The smaller brass colored buttons are just the same as the larger but marked 16mm.
