Help!!!
A number of years ago I purchased about 1000 badges. Over the years I have Identified most of them and am down to the last few. I have spent countless hours poring over books, images on the internet and sales sites but cannot find even which country to research under. I have attached pics of 3 badges any help would be greatly appreciated.

The third one looks to be French, but I defer to those more knowledgeable.

After checking the script I can confirm the badge is Abu Dhabi. أبو ظبي
The name for my button was taken from "Buttons a Guide for Collectors", plate 36, No. 27. |

I can read Arabic script and can therefore confirm Abu Dhabi.
