    Hi, From my research notes - the order lapsed with the overthrow of Sallal in 1967. Owain

     

    This was the junior order of the Yemen Arab Republic. The star and the badge of this five class order consist of a silver and silver-gilt ten pointed star of alternating smooth (gilded) and multifaceted rays, upon which is superimposed a ten pointed blue enamel star with a white centre of alternating points of fleur-de-lys and lotus design. In the centre, encircled by a line of beading, the inscription, “Ma’areb”. The reverse is blank, other than a silver hallmark and the Arabic name of the manufacturer. Suspension is by a silver fleur-de-lys affixed to the uppermost point of the badge. The sash ribbon is 100mm blue with 3mm red (outer) and 9mm yellow (inner) edge stripes. The neck and breast ribbon are 37mm in width. Bichay in April and May of 1964 manufactured the following:
