[christerd]

What do you think about this one ? I just bought in on pure instinct and maybe it was a bad beat

What I could find out in a hurry is that its from persia Sha time 1960´s ??

It have the original box and a award cert to an English man ... I paid about 60$ was it a bad buy ?

And could anyone say something about this medal......... all info is helpful

Christer,

This is the Second Class Medal of the Order of the Homayoun of the Pahlavi period. The date period you suggest may well be correct and it is probably manufactured by Bertrand of Paris. You note a bestowal certificate accompanies this cased piece. I would suggest the price is fair to good.

Regards,

Owain.
