Kingdom of Egypt: Order of Muhammad Ali

[Megan]

From the Kingdom of Egypt, the Order of Muhammad Ali, which was instituted on 14 April 1915 and awarded for the highest standards of civil and military service - with the collar mostly going to Heads of State. The design was amended in 1919, and from this Type 2 here are the Commander class and the Silver Medal - the order included gold and silver medals, mostly awarded for courage on the battlefield.

Hello Gentlemens,

 

Hello Megan,

 

This is an Order of Mohammed Ali Type 2, sold by a british auction house in late 2018.

 

Despite being obsolete since the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, the company WORTH produced some set in metal gilt at request of King Fuad II ( who is King of Egypt in Exile ). But when his father King Farouk left the country, he abdicated in favor of his son who was still in summer 1952 a new born baby, but officially he was King Fuad II until the official abolition of the Monarchy in 1953.

 

Regards to all.

Heck, I have enough to do keeping up with state-awarded ODM past and present, never mind what the descendants of former monarchs like to share amongst themselves!

 

But thank you for sharing images and information, Emmanuel.
