Muchas gracias Thank you for the info Here the uniform http://www.mlorenz.at/images/03_infanterie_1-38.jpg

I would like to confirm the uniform that King Alfonso XIII of Spain wears in this portrait. I know that he visited Vienna in 1905 and the press indicated that he wore the uniform of a Hungarian colonel. In the same way I would like to confirm the decorations. The sash looks like that of Saint Stephan . On the neck I don't know if it's the Teutonic Mariencross Any information is appreciated

Thank you At least 32 insignia of this order were awarded to people associated with the Arab world between 1928 and 1956, including Arabia, Lebanon and Syria Another option is that the fabrication is Italian or Spanish and that it was distributed in Egypt by this firm.

They tell me that the translation of this inscription is FACTORY OF MEDALS AND RECOGNITIONS OF EGYPT / KINGDOM OF EGYPT / TAOUFIK BAI Corresponds to a plaque of the Mehdauia Order of the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco between 1926 and 1956, sold in emedals Could someone confirm it for me? If yes, do you know anything about this manufacturer Taoufik Bai? Thank you

It is a plate for shoulder strap regulated in the 1943 uniformity regulation The shoulder strap is made up of a five-centimeter-wide gold braid, forming the embroidery with alternating castles and lions. The gallon is lined with red cloth. On the gallon, and to fix it in the center of the chest, an elliptical sheet of fire-gilded brass is placed. The dimensions of the axes of the same are eight and five and a half centimeters, respectively. It has a die-cut, in its center and with its enamel colors, the emblem of the Army .

This is what the creation order says The central part of the insignia is made up of an enameled circle, in which the sunset is represented, that is, El Mogreb, reflected in a blue-green sea. Circumscribed to this circle is a strip, also made of enamel and Prussian blue, limited by a golden border. Everything described above is enclosed in a Solomonic ring. The ribbon from which the decoration hangs is green, with a white central stripe. On the reverse, in a circle of white enamel, the following Arabic inscription reads: Muley el Mehdi Ben Ismail Ben Mohamed, may God glorify him. The plaque for Commanders and Grand Crosses (or their equivalents) is identical, with the only difference that it goes on a silver or gold disk, depending on the category, and with the same ornamentation motifs, but enlarged, without any inscription.

As a complement to the thread Spanish-Moroccan Mehdauia Order awarded to Kriegsmarine admirals opened by Kriegsmarine Admiral, I propose this new one to include photographs (portraits, ribbon bars or gropus) and data with non-Spanish recipients of this order Between 1926 and 1956 some 10,378 awards of this Order were awarded. Not counting those to Moroccans (some 1,700), 571 concessions went to foreigners, mainly Italians (230), Germans (130) and Portuguese (83). Also French, British, from Latin American countries (Argentina, Dominican Republic, Uruguay, Cuba or Puerto Rico) and others (Syria, Arabia, Lebanon, Egypt, Philippines, Norway, Japan, Greece, Holland and the United States). Thanks

Thanks to all Tou can see the categories at; https://coleccionesmilitares.com/medallas/texto/mehdauia.htm Rifaat (knight) and variant only il silver nor enamelled Litizas (Officer) Saada (commander) Fajama (Knight Commander) Bronze insignia

Thank you for this informations The lmage of the collar in auction some years ago. The collar is not with a plaque or star The first pieces from the late twenties and early thirties were from Cealvo. I have never seen a real piece of the collar of the Hasania Order. No less than two had this Kai Meyer whom I unfortunately do not know

The granting of Grand Cross of the Order of Naval Merit to Canaris. must be prior to October 1937. I do not know the specific date, but at the end of this month it had not been awarded, because they did not have insignia available and that only would get from January 1938. Perhaps it would be imposed in mid-February 1938 on a visit to Burgos

Of course the regulation is clear regarding the position of the badges. It is possible that whoever imposed them was not very clear about it, or that they simply made a mistake when putting them I understand that it refers to the Collar of the Order created in 1937 (The category Kil-lada (Great Collar) of the order of the Mehdauia is created, which can only be granted to Heads of State). Years ago one of them was put up for auction. We only know of three concessions: that of Khalifa Muley el Hassan, that of Francisco Franco, Caudillo of Spain and Head of State, granted in April 1938, and that of Antonio Oscar de Fragoso Carmona, president of the Portuguese Republic, granted in June of the same year.

A new mistake. The Comendador de número only is a plaque, not a neck badge The Mehdauia Order comprises the following five classes: First. Rifaat (Knight). In this category, both the Solomonic ring and the ornaments will be silver. It is suspended from the left side of the chest. Second. Litizás (Officer). It differs from the previous one only in that the Solomonic ring and ornamentation motifs will be gold, as well as the contours. Also hang on the left side. Third. Saada (Commander). The same insignia, only set in a silver disk, and pinned to the left side of the chest. Quarter. Fajama (Commander of number). Like the previous one, and set in a gold disc, hanging on the right side of the chest. Fifth. Sumú-u (Grand Cross). Identical to the previous one and attached to the left side, also wearing a sash that crosses the chest from right to left and from whose end hangs the second class insignia. Between 1926 and 1956 some 10,378 awards of this Order were awarded. Not counting those to Moroccans (some 1,700), 571 concessions went to foreigners, mainly Italians (230), Germans (130) and Portuguese (83). Also French, British, from Latin American countries (Argentina, Dominican Republic, Uruguay, Cuba or Puerto Rico) and others (Syria, Arabia, Lebanon, Egypt, Philippines, Norway, Japan, Greece, Holland and the United States).

Captain Hans Langsdorff, commander of the Graf Spee, on April 27, 1939 in Ceuta. Commander of the Mehdauia Order, which was granted to him in 1938 Accompanied by General Beigdeber No. It is an intermediate category between the Commander and the Grand Cross. It is the plaque to be worn on the right side of the chest, instead of the left

See the insignias of the order at: https://coleccionesmilitares.com/medallas/texto/mehdauia.htm

The correct name of the Order is "Order Mehdauia". Created in 1926 in the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco to perpetuate the memory of the first Khalifa Muley el Mehdi Ben Ismail Ben Mohamed. About 130 insignias of these order were awarded in their different categories, mainly between 1937 and 1942 to german military an civilian people. Always, according to the record books (manuscripts) For Klüber (397), Plath (398), Schenk (402) and Riedel (403) were all later admirals. 4) Otto Ciliax: Awarded the Comendador de número (Fajama). Record number 120. Date: 5.3.1938 6) Hermann von Fischel: Thinking that the double concession is an error, I have chosen, without defined criteria, the last date. If at any time I find additional documentation or the date of imposition, it could change 1) Wilhelm Canaris: My mistake. The correct date is 17.11.1938 Any pic of any of these show the Order of Mehdauia insignas are very welcome

At the moment it is the information that I have found. Something else may appear. The classes of these crosses are usually by ranks, and it is not necessary to be the lower category In general Silver, for the classes and individuals of sailors and troops. 1st class, for officers and assimilates. 2nd, for corvette captains, frigate captains, commanders, lieutenant colonels and assimilates. 3rd, navy captains, colonels and assimilated. Grand Cross, admiral, general and similar officers.
