Default Iraqi Army under Saddam badge card

I am just back from our local Militaria Fair where I found this. The chap selling it told me that these cards were made up from confiscated Iraqi uniforms by one of the Allies and sold to raise charity funds. Judging by the spelling it was not the Brits and probably not the Yanks!!! Actually I suspect it was an Iraqi entrepreneur who sold them to the troops as souvenirs. I particularly like the "militaria duty corps" badge bottom left.

I did have a similar but smaller version.

Default "militaria duty corps"

This looks for the world like a masonic emblem.

The Artillery Corps badge looks a lot like the British universal collar grenade.

Rgds, Thomas.

I should have said that the Militaria Corps is actually the Corps of construction Engineers.
