Garth Thompson Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I'm not sure this is the proper spot for this question but since it is a French colonial order here we go. Does anyone know of a website or publication that would clarify which Bey the arabic lettering in the center of the order indicates.Garth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djedj Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Bonjour Garth,There's a discussion on that very topic here :http://zitocland.forumpro.fr/les-medailles...ighlight=nichanYou may have to register though to be able to consult it ? Not too sure about that...They are quite different indeed, but some French manufacturers seem to have use a great deal of "artistic license" with the sole aim to confuse collectors !And - yes, please show us your beauties !Cheers,Jerome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have known about it for awhile but my french is so miserable I have hesitated to get on. I have only recently started to collect French ODMs but have been a lifelong collector of British and US medals. I have started on French medals so as to keep my collecting interest up and to keep learning so the old brain doesn't stagnate. I only have one Nichan Iftikar and I'm sure it is of no great consequence.Regards,Garth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
