    Hello, as I was browsing through some British cap badges in an antique shop, I found this. I asked the owner what it was, and she didn't know, I did some research myself, to no avail, so I will post it here. I don't know which country it was made by, so by putting it here, I hope it wont annoy anyone! It is one piece construction, and has no makers mark on the side, or reverse.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this, 

    Philip.S

    I forgot to mention, the tip of the sword blade has a scuff, as if it had been broken off of something, probably connecting it to a ribbon.

    again, 

    Thank you,

    Philip.S

    Good morning, 

    It has come to my attention
    that I haven't got the knack of posting pictures on this site yet.

    I hope that fixes them.

    Thank you,

    I have also found out what it is, it has taken me an annoyingly long time to find this, but it is in fact a Syrian "Order of the Wounded" awarded to Military ad civilian personnel injured whilst acting for the state. Thank you to "Medals of the World" for my information on this. I am sorry for not posting this in the middle eastern forum, but i did not know at the time.

    Too bad your order of the Wounded is missing the ring and the ribbon.  That would obviously take you some time to work out.  I'll post some pictures of the award here for you.

    Regards,

    Gordon
