    Unknown cross

    Jeff, The centre appears to be the same if not similar to the Hafidien Order of Morocco - perhaps this is a compilation star as the Arabic should not be with a cross. The Arabic is not 199% but appears to read "Al Jalalah Al Yousfid'. Regards, Owain

    Do you think it might be related to Afghanistan's Order of the Durrani Empire? It's the only other order I've seen whose design includes a cross with an Arabic (or to be precise a language using Arabic script) inscription.

    As the centre is a Moroccan it may be that an original Bertrand of Paris manufactured centre has been 'married' to the cross. The rim of the centerpiece is different from the rim of the cross. Is there a reverse image? Regards, Owain
