Product Information
Specification
FRANCE: Order of the Black Star of Dahomey, 
Officer's Cross. 
Early example (WW1 era) maker marked on 
the ring by the famous medalist Arthus 
Bertrand, Paris.
The Order was instituted in 1889 and was 
later succeeded by the Order of National 
Merit (in 1969), as the former French Colony 
of Dahomey became a fully independent 
country in 1960 - and changed its name later 
on to Benin. 
It was awarded in recognition of faithful 
services to the French Colonial Forces, not 
only in Dahomey but in all the French Africa  
Colonies (Senegal, Sudan, Niger, Guinea, 
Dahomey and the Ivory Coast, Congo, Gabon, 
Tchad and Oubangi-Chari)
