Arabic (Syrian) Dog Tags & ID Cards

[Tinhat]

For thread continuity I did the collection of bits I posted. I would certainly agree with you that sellers do not in general really know what they are selling, it's not that easy if you are interested in this stuff to confirm what it is.



1. Jordan Arab Army shoulder title, Royal Artillery
2. Jordan Arab Army shoulder title, Medical Corps
3. Jordan Arab Army buttons
4. Jordan Arab Army corporal stripes
5. Jordan Arab Army dog tag
6. Jordan Arab Army shoulder title, Signal Corps
7. Arab Legion, cap badge (changed to brass in 1956 and became Jordan Arab Army)
8. Jordan Arab Army, epaulette slide 10th Infantry battalion
9. Egyptian dog tag
10. Jordan Arab Army ID card

Corrected that thanks, seems identifying this stuff is easier than counting to 6.

I got these two with the Egyptian tag I have but never been sure what they are, do you think they are dog tags? (Syrian one is for size comparison). Made of cast aluminum.

Like I said fabulously done on the identification.

No I have never seen these look like tool or equipment tags from other countries though, if the back is blank they are most likely not Dog Tags... Also blood group makings are a good way to spot dog tags when in doubt.
