2xvetran Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 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. Bob As always, thank you and your friend in Iraq for the great information Bob. Scott.
2xvetran Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Here is an updated shot of some of my Iraqi medals and ribbons. It has been a while since I did an update on new items... I am trying to assemble all of the medals with their corresponding ribbons. So far I have a pretty good start, and even a few ribbons without medals . Scott
2xvetran Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Here is a closer shot of some of them.
Paul R Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 That is a beautiful collection of medals Scott.
2xvetran Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Here are a couple of Iraqi Armor breast badges that are quite similar to the old DDR variety. It is a bit difficult to see but the one on the left is gilt while the other is silver. I am not sure if this denotes a particular class or perhaps just a different manufacturer. Scott.
2xvetran Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 That is a beautiful collection of medals Scott. Thanks Paul, just a work in progress. As you know, I am mostly interested in combat items but I enjoy the medals when I can find them reasonably priced (cheap ) Thanks again, Scott.
2xvetran Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Here is a neat name/unit badge I added to my Desert Storm uniform. When I get a translation, I will relocate it to the appropriate uniform and rank. It really has a great patina that goes well with this uniform. Scott.
2xvetran Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Another name badge in need of a translation...
2xvetran Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Here is my collection of Iraqi Officer collar gordets. It is believed that the darker version are for Republican Guard Officers and that the bright Red is for all other branches. I believe that once the officer becames a General and recives his palm gordets, that they are bright red. Scott.
2xvetran Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 As I am finally moved and settled (mostly) into my new house, I will be working on new displays and a collection room. Right now things are a bit scattered. Scott.
Paul R Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Are there not a couple of members here who read Arabic?
2xvetran Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Are there not a couple of members here who read Arabic? I posted them in the Middle East and Arab States thread as well. Windu and Lorenzo responded and basically confirmed that they are just name badges. It would have been neat to have the name of a specific unit, but that's how it goes when you are totally unfamiliar with a language. Scott.

I really like this uniform, is this your 1991 uniform you displayed a year ago or is this a new one? The white bordered RG Insingia looks very nice. Lorenzo

2xvetran Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Scott Do all these collar Insignia have the brass clips on them? Lorenzo Yes, all except the Generals which have the snaps. Scott.
Guest IMHF Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Yes, all except the Generals which have the snaps. Scott. Thats good, I bought a few sets both Gilt and Brown string from Jason last year. Lorenzo

The white bordered RG Insingia looks very nice. Lorenzo Hi Lorenzo, This is the uniform I have had since Desert Storm. I just placed the badge with it as it had a really nice patina that matched the uniform. Thanks for asking. Scott.
2xvetran Posted February 7, 2011 Author Posted February 7, 2011 very nice collection! Thank you very much. It is still very much a work in progress as I am sure most of our collections are Scott.
2xvetran Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 Here is the inside of my Polish Wz-50 Helmet that I brought back from Iraq in 2003. Notice the very used condition and the Arabic writing on many of the liner tongues. Scott.
2xvetran Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 Here is a much nicer picture of my Republican Guard Special Forces Table Emblem. Scott.
2xvetran Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 Here is a three part view of my large display cabinet. I am in the process of moving items around to see what looks best. Scott. pt 1
