Iran 1870-1978, Comprehensive collection in a 3-volume Farabaksh ablum. starts with excellent Lions including used 1878 5K #36-39, then is fairly complete the rest of the way. The overprints of the late 19th and early 20th century are extensive but many are rather dubious (the Lions are not) and are not graranteed, but the later material is excellent. the "Shah" definitives of the 1950s and 60s are all used while the good commemorative sets of the period are mint LH. the Lions are a bit mixed, quality-wise, but many are Fine or better, everyhthing else is F-VF. An excellent starter collection.
