Hello everybody,
enclosed a nice postcard I bought recently from Estonia. He seems to be Tunisien.
Cordialement, Harri.

Hi,

I see the commandeur of Nichan Iftikar (Tunisia) and a commandeur of Nichan el anouar (I think) (Djibouti)

I can see too a chevallier of Legion d'honneur and a Médaille colonial (blue ribbon)
I don't recognize he last three medals.

The penultimate make me think at the Order of Merite Agricole

Regards

Jean-Phy

Hello Harri,

Nice colorized postcard !
The colorization process can explained some mistakes in color's of the ribbons.

I see 3 commander's cross :
Commander's cross Order of Nichan Iftikar ("The tunisian Glory")
Commander's cross Order of Nichan El Anouar
Commander's cross Order of ?? (maybe turkish)

Five medals & orders (left to right side):

Legion of honnour third republic (Part of the "Great Officer" with the silver badge on the right side)
Colonial medal with "unknow claps"
Medal for courage & dedication (ribbon blue/white/red) (third republic, before 1895)
Officer of agricultural Merit (created in 1901)
Officer Order of the black Star of Benin (Blue ribbon & blue enamel)

Scly,

Bonjour
and thanks to Mazel and Jean-Phy for identifying those medals.
Is there any particular meaning with the embroidery on the sleeve of the thobe, rank for example or is it just typical Tunisian culture thing?
Cordialement, Harri.

Hi Harry,

Sure, it's not common thobe... but i'am not specialist of maghrebian clothes.
I just see another "tunisian" details under the left arm !
The big sash badge of Nishan iftikar. It is red when it should be green.

Certainly, it is well tunisian. Perhaps the "caïd" of a tribe of Tunisia ?

scly,

MaZeL

Thank you Mazel for your answer. I just do not know anything about tribal embroideries of AFN, so wondered if there was any meaning known by you or any other member of the Forum.

Cordialement, Harri.
