Philip.S Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 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 Unknown award front.jfif Unknown award back.jfif 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip.S Posted September 9, 2023 Author Share Posted September 9, 2023 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, Philip.S 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. https://www.medals.org.uk/syria/syria012.htm Thank you, Philip.S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Philip.S 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
