Kingdom of Egypt: Order of the Nile

[Megan]

From the Kingdom of Egypt, the Order of the Nile (نیشان النیل/Nishan al-Nil), which was instituted on 14 April 1915 and awarded in five classes for services to the nation.

Here we have the Grand Officer star, Commander, Officer, and Knight.

Good morning Megan,

 

These pictures are of the pieces I sold in the recent Spink auction - nice examples of a beautiful order, although the 4th and 5th classes are quite impractical when seen in a British group - they are too big to fit or lie tidily in a mounted group.

 

I am in the process of reviewing a draft book on the awards of the Kingdom of Egyptian - some 120 pages and similar in format to my Somalia book and based upon my 2024 OMRS exhibit. It should see the light of day by the summer.

 

Kind regards,

 

Owain
