Boy Howdy Posted August 20, 2021 #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.
Tonomachi Posted September 30, 2021 #2 Posted September 30, 2021 This is supposedly an older Egyptian airborne or airmobile cap badge from the 1973 Yom Kippur War period.
SteveB Posted October 16, 2021 #4 Posted October 16, 2021 This is the earlier pattern Egyptian commando badge used in the 1967 war https://allbadges.net/en/badge/3050 Later replaced by this type by the 1973 war https://allbadges.net/en/badge/4047
Boy Howdy Posted October 20, 2021 Author #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.
SteveB Posted October 20, 2021 #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.
Boy Howdy Posted October 21, 2021 Author #8 Posted October 21, 2021 Agreed SteveB. Without a positive ID I wouldn't have bought it.
