Hi Eddie,
I've found the missing items and attach scans of five badges.
The Omani badges are shown first and you will note that they differ slightly. The first is in w/metal, the second, chromed; both die-struck, both with slpit-pin fastenngs. Yuo will also note that the inscriptions differ., the second one being similar to yhe T.O.S. badge.
Of the three Trucial Oman badges. The first is the single dagger; second is the crossed daggers and third the one similar to the Omani Coast Regt. The first three badges are local manufacture, , Nos. 1 and 3 having brooch-pin fastenings, the second one has split-pin loops. They look to be made of silver.
Comments will be appreciated - are you interested in other Arab badges (HBL, APL and such like?)
Regards,
Brian
