Boy Howdy Posted August 20, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 20, 2021 I saw this buckle for sale on ebay. The seller doesn't know where it is from. I like it but I would like to know it's origin. Does anyone recognize it? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonomachi Posted September 30, 2021 Share #2 Posted September 30, 2021 This is supposedly an older Egyptian airborne or airmobile cap badge from the 1973 Yom Kippur War period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy Howdy Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted October 20, 2021 Update: thanks to your positive ID'S I was able to purchase the belt and buckle with confidence as to it'd origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveB Posted October 20, 2021 Share #7 Posted October 20, 2021 Nice item, I confess to being close to buying it myself. I missed out on getting the same badge at an auction a few months ago. The challenge with this stuff is good reference material. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy Howdy Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share #8 Posted October 21, 2021 Agreed SteveB. Without a positive ID I wouldn't have bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
