Another button with Arabic characters.
Intriguingly crafted, a 3-tiered construction. Nickel. No maker's mark. The inscription on the shield reads "BRUNEI" - but that's all I know. Would like very much to have it positively identified. I had several of these buttons, evidently from a tunic of sorts, but all except this one have been traded off. GTB |

Re Row 3 Button 6, while googling I just accessed the following site concerning relics of the 1973 Arab-Israeli War:
http://pages.mikebrackin.com/5089/Pi...923735029.html To further put a spanner in the works, the button is featured among Egyptian uniform insignia. However, to be fair, no specific parent organisation is mentioned. GTB |
