Ruby Gold Slipper

A Close Friend Passed away years ago and passed this down to me. This is the Ruby Slipper? He gave with the history note. Theyre is 2 parts i cant read

This is the old hand written note that came with the ruby slipper:

This Gold Slipper with a Ruby on its Toe is for John Bruce Lawson. It was given to me at the time of his birth, July 17th 1959 by Hara Malamaki,wife of the former Greek Ambassador to Canada, Pami Malamaki. It is a Greek Custom to give something with red on it at the birth- signafying the passing of the bloodlines I think though Hara's English was difficult to understand. She told me that a close friend of her had given it to her ( Hara) when she was visiting in Cairo at the time ___? (cant make the writing out) took over the ___? and Confiscated all the money and gold of the wealthy people. Hara and monay other friends left the country with money and jewellery sewn into their clothes or beaded onto dresses or covered as buttons ect. The friend said if she ever got out she would get her jewellery back but if not, the friends should keep it and enjoy it. This will replace the pearl ring dad gave me at your birth as it was stolen by the two live ins we had with us in 1968

Love BB
