Saddam Era Iraqi Shoulder Slides and Insignia

[CaptConfederacy]

Always on the lookout for Saddam-era Iraqi items, I've found that sometimes the souvenir boards assembled for sale to servicemen by the Iraqis can have some pre-2003 pieces.  This one I just found has a treasure trove of Saddam era items with a major general shoulder slide of a type I've never encountered before.  (To be fair, it could be pre-Saddam.  However, I've put a closer view of it here in case anyone else has a firm time period when it was made.)

 

From top to bottom, from left to right, using US equivalent ranks:

 

Fedayeen Saddam Jump Wings (Rubberized Material)

Iraqi Army Dress Uniform Collar Tab

Iraqi Military Academy (Cardboard Material)

Iraqi Army 2nd Lt. (Cloth)

Iraqi Army 1st Lt. (Cloth)

Iraqi Air Force Captain (Nylon Material, German-made, Iran-Iraq War Period)

Iraqi Air Force Major (Nylon Material, German-made, Iran-Iraq War Period)

Iraqi Air Force Lt. Colonel (Nylon Material, German-made, Iran-Iraq War Period)

Iraqi Army Colonel (Cloth, thought to be either German or Iraqi Military Sewing Factory Made)

Iraqi Army Major General (Cloth, Flecked Type)

Iraqi Army Brigadier General (Cloth, thought to be either German or Iraqi Military Sewing Factory Made)
