James Hoard Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 The attached picture is of Sardar Nasrullah Khan, brother of Habibullah Shah of Afghanistan.Does anyone happen to recognise the second star which he wears on his left breast?The first star and aigrette are clearly the insignia of the Order of the Sun.CheersJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Hoard Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 The star is neither from an Indian State nor Bokhara.One idea was that it could be the star of the Medjidieh Order of Turkey. The outward shape and the central medallian suggest this. However, this star seems to have something that resembles seashells, where the stars and crescents would be.CheersJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
