Hungarian Beauty
Last week on a trip to Stockholm I had the great privilege to visit the warehouse of the Livrustkammaren. (The Royal Armoury) My specific aim were to study the chain of the Hungarian Order Of Merit that was awarded to the Swedish king Gustav V. It was an immensely interesting opportunity to study this unique chain in detail and being able to photograph it up close.
 
I wish to express my best thanks to the staff at the storage for Livrustkammaren in Tumba for their great help and friendliness receiving me at their facility.
