The Osminieh Order was a military decoration of the Ottoman Empire (modern Turkey), created in January 1862 by Sultan Abdulaziz. With the obsolescence of the Nichan Iftikhar (Order of Glory), this became the second highest order in the Empire, ranking below the High Order of Honour. It was awarded by the Sultan to Ottoman civil servants and military leaders for outstanding services to the state. Generally, it could not be awarded to women, but exceptions appear to have been made at the Sultan's discretion. From 1915 until the end of the First World War, all classes could be awarded with sabers when awarded for achievements in military operations. This was an augmentation to the existing classes of the award, and it is estimated that about 5% of the awards from this period were with sabers.
