Great Dane Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Well, if my own research is correct it is the cypher of Ahmed II bin Ali Bey (1929-1942)./Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickstrenk Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 If it does not matter,I will attach so Rodions order will not be lonely. Period Muhamad III as-Sadyk 1859-1882.It is strange ,one Czech general was awarded it in 1913. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
922F Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Nickstrenk, this is a beautiful example of the order regardless of Bey's name! Almost all recipients had to buy their own Nichan Iftikhir insignia. Your Czech general likely was in Austro-Hungarian service if he received it in 1913. Perhaps he went into a Vienna shop and bought this example--note ribon arrangement and very fine obverse and reverse detail suggesting Rothe or Meyer manufacture. [May be silver content or jeweler marks on ring.] Maybe no attention to detail given as to obtaining correct Bey's name, if the price was right!

nickstrenk Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I tried to take the photos of the maks on the ring.There are 3 of them on the ring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
922F Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I cannot make out the punches on the ring. As to the Bey's name, appears most like Mohammed-Es-Sadok (1859-1882). c.f. https://www.expertissim.com/tunisie-ordre-de-nichan-iftikhar-130110 as well as http://www.militaria-medailles.fr/fr/medaille-francaises/5362-medaille-de-officier-de-l-odre-tunisien-d-nichan-iftikhar-mohamed-es-sadok-1859-1882.html. Often exact calligraphy match in terms of depicting the Bey's name will not happen due to variations among jeweller manufacturing abilities and Arabic language comprehension.
