My mate came back from his latest tour with some arabic landy badges - genuine new old stock (seemingly late 80's).

Anyway, as it says on the tin, fabric green and goldish embroidered sew-on badges, just like the ones in English. But in Arabic.

Before I lob em on Ebay thought I'd see if any of you folks want em..

They're pretty rare I'd assume by now and as he cleaned out the dealership (and they said that that was the last of them) that's probably.. er.. the last of em.

Last one on ebay was £36, yours for the princely sum of £5 as it's Christmas, but if you just punt them onto ebay apparently theres an old arabic curse and your turbo will explode.

No camera, but I'll endevour to scan them on the scanner.

I have 6.

so what yer saying is, that every time my doctor signs me meffadun prescription he's actually writing 'landrover' in arabic..

i wonder why?

Sean · Dec 13, 2007

it's all arabic to me

muddythelandy · Dec 13, 2007

well bugger me sideways they don't agree with google.

Must be some pro-saddam slogan or sommat.

I'll get scanner powered up and bung on a picture.

When one was on ebay it said "Lund Rofeer". So thats about as much Land Rover as my Deefeendeer Whain Tein.

come to think of it who would want a arabic landy badge? and why?

and if yer really though yer needed or wanted one you could just get a green oval and put some squiggles in it. its not like anybody would know what it meant. if yer did come across someone that spoke arabic yer could just tell them its an ancient langauge from the upper reaches of the hindu kush.

i used to have one of them house names on me house. yer know the one made from a bit of tree..

it was a 3 wurd name meaning welcome all

i used the old scottish wurd fer welcome......DUN

the scottish scottish wurd for one..............WAN

and finally a common wurd that means family.........KIN

fooking dint half upset the posh neighbours

just thought that some saddo completist collector type would have every type of landy paraphanalea except one saying Saddam is the Best and would jump at the chance - but of course the flaw in my plan - and I would have got away with it if it wasn't for you pesky kids - was that there are no saddo completist collector types on this here forum.

I'll bung em on ebay as I'm fairly sure there are one or two of that sort on there.

i thought dun was Scottish for brown.

DUN is an old lowland Scots word for castle or fort.

As in
DUN barton - Dick barton's castle,
DUN drennan
and hundreds more.

By far the majority of Scots never spoke Gaelic or anything like it.

Only REBELLIOUS Scots did that, the silly-arse Catholic rebel supporters of Charles Edward Stewart, and he got sorted out at Culloden, by a
BRITISH army made up of about three-quarters Scots soldiers.

Hence the verse of the National Anthem ..

God grant that Marshall Wade
May by they mighty aid,
Victory Bring.

May he sedition hush
And like a torrent rush
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the King!

They didn't want to crush all the Scots - only the rebels who were causing the grief.

end of history lesson.

sorry ...
