Members of the Imperial Guard of Iran, an 18,000-strong elite unit of the Iranian military devoted to protecting the Shah, 1975. They were often referred to as “the Immortals” after the legendary corps of bodyguards who protected the ancient Emperors of Persia (1190×850)

The Unibrow Brigade

Timothy Dalton?
Custodes basically
Corazzieri?
