Here is a new arrival, an Iraqi Air Force Bravery Medal manufactured in Chile. Scott.

[2xvetran]

A Popular Army cap probably Romanian made.

[2xvetran]

A Popular Army uniform from the 1980-88 War with Iran. Notice the double button pockets instead of the single button normally seen on Iraqi Army uniforms. Also from a Romanian contract. Scott.

[2xvetran]

Iraqi produced DPM from 1990-91 Gulf War. This is the pattern that caused England to have to change theirs. This uniform has matching camo Captain ranks, pin on gold bordered RG triangles, a pre 1991 pin on breast flag, black enameled wings, and a "hard missions" breast badge. Also the red qardoon for RG units. Scott.

Here is a very nice gilt Iraqi Navy anchor badge. It appears to be for a hat or beret but could possibly be for a tunic collar as well. Scott.

Thank you Scott, I look forward to going home on R&R in Feb 2011 taking the kids to Disneyland. Look forward to seeing your display room keep up the good work on your collection. I just can't wait until deployments stop so I can have the time to complete a display room for my collection.

Thank you

Lorenzo

Here is a nice set o well used bullion Iraqi Para wings from the 70s-80s. These can be seen in use during the Iran-Iraq war on blumentarn style jump smocks that the Iraqi's were using. There is a good shot of them in the "Camoflage Uniforms of the Middle East" book. Scott.

[2xvetran]

The reverse of the para wings. Scott.

Scott,

The deep green piping is for the Military Court and the red is for higher officers. The cap with the red piping is used with the higher officers badge on the front. If there is no manufacturing tags inside, they were made in Iraq.
