    Help with translation - Order of the Lion and the Sun document


    Recommended Posts

    Posted (edited)

    Hello!

     

    I recently bought some documents belonging to a Norwegian-Swedish business man named Even Christian Gjestvang. 

    Among the documents are one that I think is from the Order of the Lion and the Sun, can anyone translate the document for me?

     

    What does the text on the document say?

     

    Attached are both sides of the large document.

    I see. Unfortunately my knowledge in languages are limited. As you might have noticed. 

     

    But surely there must be someone here who knows Farsi?

    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.

    Thank you!

     

    Interesting that he received it with red sash! I thought all foreigners got the green ribbon.

    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.
