Persia Order of Nishan-i-limi ( Order of Arts & Science)
JapanX replied to Markus's topic in Middle East & Arab States
Finally I was able to find readable photo of the document for this order!

And back to the copycat practice. Strange specimen... Looks like it lost his original medallion (most likely Variation A of Merit Medal) and somebody replaced it with order of striped tiger medallion!!! So it is more likely modern "construction" practice ;)

And another thoroughbred russian. Only this time it is a bling one Marked on reverse ПБ and Kokoshnik 84. Judging by the second mark (Kokoshnik 84) this piece was manufactured somewhere between 1908 and 1917.

And now something completely new: striped tiger + merit medal. Inventive persons they are...
-
And another little (and obvious) remark - it looks like these medals in every class have two variations of central medallions

And another portion of delicatessen Looks like these boys are busy 24/7!
