      Hi Jstorm - What you have posted is a mini of Pahlavi era order of Homayoun. This is not a mini of Qajar era order of Elmi. I went back and saw few other photos of order of Homayoun similar to yours in this thread which are also from Pahlavi era.

      In this instance the ribbon does not exclusively indicate a specific country or jeweler. While a Rosette on the ribbon mostly indicates a French or Belgium origin, but I have also come across Persian manufactured pieces with rosettes on their ribbons. Also please note that ribbons are highly subject to replacement by dealers.

      Sorry for late reply but the reverse image unfortunately does not provide anymore clues. So, most likely Persian manufactured.

      It is difficult to say but appears to be Persian manufactured. Need to see an image of the reverse to be certain.

      You are very welcome. Indeed the red sash is unusual particularly for the first class. We can see Red sash on lower classes and mostly on the order of arts and sciences.

      This is the bestowal document for a first class order of lion and sun with red sash from the reign of Mohammad Ali Shah Qajar (8 January 1907-16 July 1909). I cannot make out the name of the recipient or the exact bestowal date due fancy script letters used.

      You very welcome. The medal itself is also very hard to find and rare.

      The literal transliteration from farsi is "Imperial Naval Force". It is a hat from Imperial Iranian Navy.

      hmmm good question Mike. I can't think of any! Your theory about medallion coming loose could be the case. Somehow i tend to think that it is more of maker's error. Of course i have no evidence of that. just a gut feeling.

      Thanks Mike. The center medallion is firmly in place and does not rotate whatsoever. Also, of course one can definitely tell which side is up and which down by looking at the enamel painting in front.

      I recently noticed that the hook and pins on the back of the attached Phalavi order are placed side ways. That is they are not in the same direction vis-a-vie the front of the medal. The pins and the hook of the medal are placed side ways! Would these orders end up as rejects by manufacture - in this case Arthus Bertrand. Untitled22.pdf
