Default Saudi Arabian type, Kuwaiti looking badge....dont know what it is

Sorry the pic looks like I had a few, because I really had, had a few!

My friend asks what is that Saudi Arabia, Kuwait City, type looking badge made in the UK? Badge is in die struck brass and better made than a lot of British badges.

Crossed cannon with a small tank in the centre...mobile anti-aircraft artillery perhaps?

This Kuwaiti. It exists in both brass and AA. The scroll says Jaish Kuwait Kuwait Army. There's a rather similar one with a coloured shield in the centre which is Kuwait National Guard - only seen that one in AA.

Thanks Eddie. I assume these badges have no value. My friend showed me another, this on did have a shield in the middle and the entire badge was aluminium in appearance including the marked slider. The all aluminium badge was priced at a rather expensive 1 pound, I couldnt knock him down to 50p sadly.

They're worth what you want to pay! No more no less!

But they are not rare.
