UNKNOWN CLOTH BADGES FOR EXPERT IDENTIFICATION PLEASE
I may have posted these previously. Just as a reminder, please look at the images and identify for me if you can; I would be most grateful. Does either have any significance for the British Forces?
 If they do I wll retain them, if not I intend to offload at some stage. Apolgies for the images but my aged grey cells prevent me from knowing how to cut the images down to size. Answers as and when please folks.Size matters: Round 10cm. Other N-S 8.5cm E-W 7cm at the top Last edited by ORISKANY; 08-09-13 at 06:24 PM. Reason: Sizes

The words Allahu Akbar (God is Great) were added by Saddam Hussein prior to the start of the Gulf War. The intent was to improve an Islamic image,the three green stars which represented the objectives of Saddam Hussein's Baath party: unity, freedom and socialism. At a ceremony on 28 June 2004 when the new interim government of Iraq was sworn into office, the stage was backed with a row of flags similar to the 1991 pattern, but wider, with the stars and the Arabic script more loosely spread across the width of the flag.

Been doing some digging and I can't find anything to do with the second patch at all...could it be a recently made airsoft patch or custom patch perhaps?

Hi,
The second badge looks like it might be a Greek badge. Had a quick look here but could not spot it. http://www.army.gr/default.php?pname=Emblems&page=1 Regards Danny

The badge on the left is an Iraqi Command patch not sure what the one on the right is but it is very similar in shape and colour to my Estonian Signals patch. Good luck!

Thanks for that. It confirms Iraqi Army. I was told elsewhere that it was worn by some coalition forces who were training the Iraqi Army post war. The jury is still out on the second one. Thanks to all who have taken the trouble to research and provide the information thus far. Regards. Martin aka ORISKANY

VMT I have looked at Finnish Army site but no luck, however Finland certainly has a similar Lion with sword but over its shoulder. I am wondering if it was a Finnish Battalion arm badge from KFOR. I will give this a try. Thanks for the suggestion. Martin.
