Lion101 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hello, I got this medal from an auction. This medal belonged to a Soviet Officer. Normally I have no issue on Syrian medals but this one have me stomp. Does anyone know this award by chance and could their have been a ribbon with it?

Coruscant Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 In the reverse, the logo of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party – Syria Region. Maybe a medal of Ba'ath Brigades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oamotme Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Dear Lion, The obverse is out of focus but the reverse reads "The Syrian Arab Army, Unity, Freedom & Socialism, With the compliments of the Defence Secretary" - not sure about this last phrase. From my experience I would suggest this is a souvenir medallet rather than an award. Kind regards, Owain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
