Guest IMHF Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) very cool.Were these given to Bhagdad municpal employees etc? ..or were they handed out en masse?Well out of the 7 years of collecting Iraqi Militaria this is the second one I have ever seen, I bought it from my friend in Baghdad, Iraq for $200.00 so I don't think they were issued out like pond water........ For who was the receiver of this rare piece I don't know or how many were manufactured.Lorenzo Edited May 27, 2009 by IMHF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
