Iranian Army

This is a present from the "center of mortorized and armoured education" to the general evans.

Obviously the word for the rank of the recipient is in question, my guess is that it is more likely that he was a colonel when the gift was received...

So I am of the opinion that this is a genuine artifact of not only Luger history, but of our relations with Iran...

Nice catch George! Wish it were mine! -John
