Nicham iftikar

[Rodion]

Hello gentlemen,

Who could tell me the name of the bey of Tunis wrote on this Nicham Iftikar ?

Rodion

[Great Dane]

Well, if my own research is correct it is the cypher of Ahmed II bin Ali Bey (1929-1942).

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.

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!

I studied the site and still I am able not to identify the correct name of Bey.

this or that?

or that 1906-1922 period?Muhammad an Nasir Bey?

I do not undrestand-what is regardless?

I tried to take the photos of the maks on the ring.There are 3 of them on the ring.

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.
