Does anyone know if these decorations were actually instituted?

I know that Worth made proposals but, as far as I can see, none bar the King Abdallah II Medal of Excellence may have actually come into fruition.

Thanks

This is a set on the Order of al-Hussein ibn Ali that I made in 1982.

James, Thanks for posting these images. The inscription on the collar reads in three links, right to left, "Qalada - Al Hussein - Bin Ali", (Collar of Al Hussein Bin Ali). The inscription on the breast badge "Al Hussein Bin Abdullah" or "Abdullah Bin Al Hussein" - I suspect the latter is correct as the order was founded by King Abdullah in June 1949. Beautiful work. Regards, Owain

James, Great picture - note the respective Queens wear their badges (stars) in different places - QEII in the traditional British manner whilst Queen Noor has it high on the sash - perhaps to avoid  damaging her dress. Owain

P.S King Hussein's miniatures would be a welcome addition to any collection.

Ilja's post 52 above 'deconstruct' appears to be a Bichay origin star of likely late 1960's vintage. Bichay made this insignia from the late 1950's-early 1960's up until the early 1980's, I believe.  Sometimes one finds Egyptian silver fineness marks on the primary and secondary star bursts, the 'ring' of stars, the reverse rondel bearing Bichay's name in Arabic , and the suspension ring for such pieces.   Not sure if Ilja's has these.  Some Egyptian silver export items do not have fineness marks.
