It consisted of the port of Aden and its immediate surroundings. Prior to 1937, Aden had been governed as part of British India (originally as the Aden Settlement subordinate to the Bombay Presidency, and then as a \"\"Chief Commissioner's province\"\"). Under the Government of India Act 1935, the territory was detached from British India, and was established as a separate colony of the United Kingdom, this separation taking effect on April 1, 1937. On January 18, 1963, the colony was reconstituted as the State of Aden within the new Federation of South Arabia. The federation in turn became the People's Republic of South Yemen on November 30, 1967, marking the end of British rule. The federation became the People's Republic of South Yemen, and in line with other formerly British Arab territories in the Middle East, it did not join the British Commonwealth. In regards to the name of the order, it was to be the Order of Sultan Hussain of Kathiri and was to be a Family or Household Order in five degrees with civil and military divisions. The badge was to consist of a five-pointed star bearing the state arms upon crossed sabres and surrounded by a crescent moon The crescent was to bear the inscription \"\"Sultan Hussain bin Ali Al Kathiri.\"\" The badge was to be suspended from an owl or falcon, the Sultan preferring the latter. The ribbon was to be green with narrow dark red or lilac edges. It would appear that this initial design was taken from a Viennese society or fraternity badge from the early part of the twentieth century. The Sultan, along with the Qu’aiti and Wahidi Sultans, were visiting the United Nations in Geneva in 1967, with a view to setting up a loose independent federation of the states of the Eastern Protectorates, as opposed to merging with the troubled Federation of South Arabia. Most of the rulers did not appreciate the hard truth that the British were going to withdraw and the Communists would take over, therefore making independence impractical. If the Sultans remained under a British Protectorate, they would have a much better chance of survival. Upon the Sultans’ return to the Qu’aiti port town of Mukalla in September 1967 they were advised that the British forces had handed over control to the National Liberation Front. They were subsequently told of their deposition and indeed were never to set foot on the soil of their homeland. The former palace of the Kathiri Sultan in Seiyun is now a museum. Now in exile in Jeddah, and would remain so until his death in 1974, the Sultan was asked if he should continue with the proposed order. The Sultan responded, advising that there was no longer a need for such an order, as he had no hope of returning to his country. However, the badge was given the go-ahead, created by contacts in Austria and re-designed as per this example. This badge was used because of its obvious Arabic style and upon approval, the badge’s design would have been amended to remove the frivolous wine glass and jester’s head and the text would have been amended to read \"\"SULTAN HUSSAIN BIN ALI AL KATHIRI\"\". The correct ribbon for the particular badge is unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis offering is a part of the \"Dr. Albert Goodwin Collection\", a preeminent assemblage of world Orders, Medals, and Decorations composed solely by Dr.Goodwin between 1946-1967.
