Hi,

The central disc is upside down and the focus is unclear but the first part is Mohammed. A clearer image would help.

Owain

P.S. It is the Order of Glory (Nishan Al Iftikhar)

On comparing your piece with those in my collection I am fairly certain yours is the Mohammed Al Naceur issue of 1906-1922 - 4th Class or Officer issue.

Owain

Very beautiful order, does it have a mounting system attached or just the ribbon alone??

I absolutely concur with Owain as to identification. Mind you one of the most degraded toughras I have seen.
