Unidentified Iraqi Victory Medal?

Is this real, or is it a fake?

Looks OK to me.

Looks OK to me too - demand is low, prices are low and there are enough about not to warrant faking & I've not seen a fake in 25 years of collecting. Nice to get original ribon with possibly original brooch although image is very small. Regards, Owain

Thanks for the advise, Gents!

Were these made locally, or were they minted someplace else and then shipped back to Iraq?

More than likely, as with other Iraqi medals of 1960'2 and 1960's, the Victory Medal was manufactured by Huguenin of Le Locle in Switzerland. The inscription reads "The Victory 1945". Regards, Owain.
