oamotme Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Dear Gro, The obverse reads "One Arab Ummah" and the reverse reads, I think, "The Glory For Building(?)" - but I'll need to check with one of my Saudi staff. If this is accurate then it may be some association award but the obverse slogan is somewhat Ba'athist and thus the origin of the piece may be Iraq or Syria - all supposition though. Any one else with any ideas or a better translation? Regards, Owain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oamotme Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Dear Gro, As I suspected this is a Ba'athist award - not sure whether it is Iraqi or Syrian - possibly the latter. The phrases, "One Arab Nation" and "Glory to the Builders of Society" are typical Ba'ath party slogans. Kind regards, Owain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gro Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Thank you, Owain. I might add that it is most probably Syrian Barth party branch edition: due to the place it was found and due to the style which is slightly similar to some of Syrian coins design. What do you think about the period/date it was made.... 1960x....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josemann57 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hi This Badge is for the Baath party, I have not seen myself, but on the obverse it reads "Al-Majd Lilubnan = Glory to Lebanon". May be it belongs to somebody (Syrian or Iraqi) who has been in Lebanon and had good time to add such a slogan on the back. Interesting item.

oamotme Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Jose, Thanks for the correction Lebanon reads better! Owain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
