Yup, dove is likely. It seems to be oriented along the blade's axis, I thought it was vertical. Symbol of peace on a dagger... Ironic.
As to the Eagle of Saladdin, on the Egyptian coat of arms it looks to the left, on the Syrian to the right. Only during the short-lived UAR the Egyptian one prevailed.
