Default Unknown Arab Badge

Can you help identify & translate?? this badge
I got this more years ago than I care to remember & still can't find what it is !
I was told it may be something to do with King Farouk or his bodyguard?

Hi

The word at the top is Farouk
The section in the middle may be a word or may simply be decorative
The bottom scroll reads harras al maliki - literally the guard of the king.
