Default possibly early tank badge?

Hi, any ideas on this? I think it maybe early Egyptian, it has the look of the pre-war light tank badge. Thanks in advance Mike

Definitely something Middle Eastern from the inscription, the star on top and the coronet/crown. Always open to be proved wrong!

Hi,

I believe this is an Egyptian Armoured Corps badge, from the 1948 Arab-Israeli war period. The tank is a Vickers Mk VI light tank used for recce.

King Farouk was the Sovereign at this time (1936-1952), and this crown is common on these badges.
