Title Liberation of North Yemen medal
Nationality Yemeni
Period 1963
Sold

This hallmarked silver medal was made in Egypt by Bichay of Cairo for the liberation of the Yemen Arab Republic (north Yemen). The Yemen Arab Republic was founded in 1962. About 500 of these medals were struck and it is, thus, quite a rare piece, emblematic of Nasser's involvement in liberation movements in the Arab world.

The suspension ring is damaged, but it is otherwise in reasonably good shape, certainly in near VF condiiton.

testimonials

Just a brief note to confirm that the sabre has been delivered today. All is as it should be. I have to say I’m impressed with the ‘custom’ packaging, obviously essential in your line of business. I have made a very quick inspection of the sword & it fully lives up to your accurate description, very pleased with the purchase.

The day the blunderbuss arrives I could not stop looking and feeling the gun for at least one hour. My wife told me that I was sick........ I am very happy, it is a piece of craftsmanship! Well made! I have 5 blunderbusses but all iron barrel, also from England but this one is gorgeous with the Brass Barrel.

Please keep me informed when you have any other type of blunderbuss. Thanks my friend!
