Hi Eddie,
thanks for the info. I did wonder at the police info as the scroll at the bottom has much fewer words on.
I did see the cavalry badge with the horseshoes on and different writing again, so ruled that out too.
I would never have got what it was though!! Thanks once again for your expert help with an unknown Omani / Arab badge.....I really must learn Arabic as Russian doesn't help much with badges
Regards as always, Bill
