You're welcome Paul, "Yugoslav" heraldry was always very interesting to me.

[paja]

Like some of the ex-Soviet countries last - "democratic" Yugoslavia also used the "old designs".

Similar thing happened with the Yugoslav star, front side practically the same.

Ilinden.

I do like this transformation from the Yugoslav badge into the Macedonian order

[paja]

Nice one Taras. Is it just me or is their Bravery medal inspired by the older Bulgarian Bravery order(?).

Order of the White Falcon vs. Order of the White Eagle.

[paul wood]

The White falcon copied the White Eagle, the latter founded by Augustus the Strong of Poland.

Thanks for that clarification Paul. My intention was just to point out their similarity, I apologize if I mislead anyone to believe that the White Falcon was "older".

Hi taras,

the piece on the right is not from the Sultanat Kathiri.

It is a decoration from the German society "Schlaraffia".

Oops! Thanks Uwe! You are totally right!

I suspect now even the inscription is not Arabic

RE Taras' 169 post above

The Republic of Italy's Order of Merit insignia change [Decree of the President of the Republic No. 173 of 30 March 2001] reportedly stemmed from then PM Amato's fascination with the Italian royal Order of the Crown.

based on this:

Off topic--but see Owain's discussion of the Sultanat Kathiri decoration's insignia basis or 'descent' from the "Schlaraffia" German society insignia.

Thank you, I didn't read this thread before. Does it mean the real Kathiri's decoration had the similar design?

[922F]

Forum member 'oamotme' published a study of Kathiri awards, including reference to design similarities with "Schlaraffia" materials. Don't remember if his work appeared here or in an OMRS or OMSA publication. Due to possible copyright issues, suggest you get directly in touch with him for complete information. Perhaps he could post a digest in the Arab states thread?
