in scenes of the 1930′s film "Dracula" starring Bela, he is show wearing at times either a large medal with a wide ribbon, or a thin chain necklace with some kind of charm/pendant. What is the medal? where is it from, what does it say, why was it given? also, what is the little charm on the end of the thin necklace?

I always wondered as it was never explained. Is he Hungarian in origin? (Bela is certainly not a typically Irish/Dublin name yet I can’t see his parents being Dracula fans).
