A very striking commander's grade Tunisian Order of Nichan Iftikhar (Order of Glory) here. This Tunisian produced example shows all of the typical details that you would find on a locally manufactured example - as opposed to the French made examples that are also on the market. The cipher in the center of this order dates it to the reign of Ali Bey, first ruler of the French protectorate of Tunisia, who ruled from 1882 until 1902. Enamel shows typical quality and wear of Tunisian produced examples, with some unevenness to the texture and light pitting. A Tunisian hallmark is located on the reverse of the order. Original neck ribbon with in-tact ties for wear. 
 
This order could be awarded to people of French nationality, cities (like Verdun), and other notable foreigners with some connection to Tunisia. It was given by the bey of Tunis on a proposal from the chief vizier for Tunisian subjects and, in all the other cases, on a proposal from the resident general of France (which occupies de facto the post of Foreign Minister of Tunisia). Each bey having put his monogram on the center of the decoration, it is possible to determine the approximate award date of each order.
