"I was thinking about you..." - Come on, honey! I've already informed you about current exposition following the photoshots made for me by another beautiful lady who visited Niavaran a fortnight ago. What else?

What?!

Another beautiful lady?

One of palaces at Niavaran Imperial residence complex (now museum) in Tehran. They change the number of items exposed in glass cases there from time to time (don't know why) so just now one cannot see this collar. If it is in a vault there now or somewhere else - I don't know.

Thank you. I noticed that the one posted in irangohar site comes with a suspension hook whereas the one ebay does not. I also saw another one a while back which does not have the hook.

I think this is because they somehow broke original suspension ring and later decided to add this carabiner

oh ok. That could explain it...thank you..

[Mitya Ivanov]

Here's the original suspension: no carabiner, of course:

I think we must somehow check Saadabad Military Museum in Tehran. It has its own exposition of Imperial orders and medals (and also some artifacts linked with Reza Shah - since the whole Saadabad complex was an Imperial residence too). Maybe we'll find a collar of this kind (or exactly this collar) there?

By the way, do we have any other photos of this chain "on the cavalier"?

We know the name of the game: "more beautiful ladies!"

[Mitya Ivanov]

No-no-nо! Iran doesn't understand ladies' interest in gentlemen's interests. Not too much can be done by ladies there. So - it will be YOU who go to Tehran! (Not me 'cos I still have no appropriate papers to cross the border).

On Reza Shah and Mohammad Hassan - but they are well-known.

And usually of a very low quality.

Mohammad Hassan (with collar) to the left of his brother - the Shah.

Future Emperor Reza (the tallest figure) stands behind them .
