Ulsterman Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Well, the top one is the superbly made (Hueningen?) Iraqi flood medal and the bottom one is the Arab-Israei war campaign medal. I have no clue what the Saddam one is but my guess is that Lorenzo will want it -reaaallllly badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulsterman Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 The triangle one is the November, 1963 commemorative medal-to celebrate the Ba'athist coup d'tat. See the OMSA database for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IMHF Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Iraqi Flood Rescue Medal from 1954: Manufactured by: Huguenin Le Locle, Switzerland. It is possible that these medals were made in three classes.. Gilt Silver and Bronze.. Why I believe that is because I have seen the large table medals in Silver and Bronze..

Ulsterman Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 what about #3? Isn't that also a coup commemorative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gro Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Medallion of Saddam Hussein our Leader of Iraq on front. I have seen these as gifts in a keychain form.. Not sure becuse it is missing it's mounting system.. Thank you Lorenzo. From the first time looks like a keychain item, but my Iraqi friend told me that the medal is official and issued in Political Department. I will check it from other sources as well. Do you have any idea about the small medal dated 1945? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
