Default Arab Nation's Police?
BOB ITEMS 230412 A4.JPG

This is a very new acquisition, I believe that the word in Arabic means 'POLICE"?

It certainly says Bolice (no P in Arabic) which means as you say police. I'd suggest that crescent with three stars would be Libya.

I believe that it's Egyptian as it came from this site and the seller's items are mainly from Egypt. http://www.ebay.com/sch/midoroomy/m....id=p4340.l2562
The Libya equvilant had three crescents and three stars.
Nice piece and so is the other with crown..

The crescent and 3 stars is Egyptian prob 1952-1958. Yes, Police.
