Great awards !
p.s. Persian order "Lion and Sun"
Hi Igor,
Yes you are correct the Order of the Lion and the Sun, but in 1925 Persia under the Pahlevi's changed it's title to the Persian Order of Homayeun, I have included a photograph of the Officers Cross below, the same type was awarded to Count Zamoyski.
Best wishes
Andrzejku
Thank you !
