oamotme Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Will, You should be able to get the 3rd and 2nd class Kuwaiti Order of Liberation without too much difficulty but the 1st and Distinguished Class will be difficult - in 20 years of hunting I have had no success to date! The UAE medal is also relatively easy to come by. The Egyptian award is difficult but I have a spare 2nd Class (no ribbon) in hallmarked silver fro you, (1st - Gilt, 3rd - Bronze).

oamotme Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Will, The Order of Qadissiyah Saddam came in 3 classes - gilt, silver with a gilt centre and silver - the ribbon - in all instances a sash - is yellow with narrow red, white and black central stripes - somewhat similar to the British Iraq 2004 War ribbon. The same obverse design, with a different reverse and ribbon was retained for the Order of the Mother of Battles" (note not "....All Battles") and there are two types of this Order with either the date 1990 or 1991 on the reverse.

Jonathan Hopkins Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Many foreign weapons were captured by the Sudanese forces on battlefields where they defeated their enemies. The sword hanging close to the light is of European origin but I have not been able to positively identify it. The sword below it is a battlefield pickup from Omdurman. You may have since identified this sword, but just in case you have not, it is a battered Italian M1871 cavalry trooper's sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabrigade Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Thank you for the input, could you confirm the time period it was or would have been used? The way of carrying the weapon is typical of the Sudanese method used when carrying a sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Hopkins Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) If you are referring the whatever is hanging from the scabbard ring, then I can't comment on it. Do you have a close-up? I do not know much about Italian edged weapons, but I believe that this model was used as late as WWI (so 1871-1918). You may want to Google "Italian 1871 cavalry sword" to find additional information and photos, or you could check the database at OldSwords.com. Jonathan PS--It could also be a similar, but later sword, the Italian M1909. PPS--This information might also be of use: CALAMANDREI C., Storia dell' Arma Bianca Italiana, Firenze, Italy, 1999. http://users.skynet.be/euro-swords/IT1873.htm Edited September 2, 2011 by Jonathan Hopkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
