sebastian Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) Hi! This is my first post in this subforum about Middle East and Arab States militaria. Because this is not my field I would like to ask you for help to identify this badge. I collect Yugoslavian militaria and in last time also UN militaria. In the past month I bought a lot of two UN arm bands and UN flag. In this lot there were also this badge. I make some research and I think this is a badge of Arab Legion. Can somebody confirm that? Or is it something else. Edited March 1, 2009 by sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingsoc Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 It's indeed look like the coat of arms of the Arab Legion.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Legion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastian Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks Ingsoc. I used as reference the picture on this link:http://www.historama.com/onlinepricelist/i...ignia-badge.jpgBut the badge on this picture is from different metal :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingsoc Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 This might account for the difference: since the got the badge as a part of a UN lot I think it's may be a modern badge worn by the present day Jordanian army (as best as I recall the Jordanian army involved in allot of UN missions). I think that the badge on "Historama" is from the period in which the Arab Legion existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
