Emanuel Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Pozdrav Pajo druze moj Thank you for your good words. Despite the fact that you have a broken Star here, it's still very rare, Arthus Bertrand Mark maker Karageorge IV class. You had to see this version you got without crown above 2 head Eagles in Mint condition, astonishing.... Nevertheless,family item as you said and you are proud I am sure about it as you had to be a real fighter, even among Officers to get it... I like it a lot. Cheers Paja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karageorge star with swords I class total 17 Serbs 3 Karageorge star with swords II class total 18 Serbs 4 Karageorge star with swords III class total 198 Serbs 118 Karageorge star with swords IV class total 1317 Serbs 1146 Karageorge star with swords in gold total 1111 Serbs 1074 Karageorge star with swords in silver total 2285 Serbs 1449 Cheers *Vitezovi Karadjordjeve zvezde sa macevima (Knights of the Karageorge Star with Swords), Tomislav S.

SasaYU Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Pajo, no matter the damage, your Karageorge star is great. As it is a part of your family's heritage i have no doubt it's value is unmeasurable to you. Congratulations. Cestitam druze. :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noor Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Not my collecting area but I picked up this nice 1914-1916 Silver class Karageorge award from Dublin yesterday. Does anyone can determinate the maker? Edited August 21, 2012 by Noor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noor Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) No need to comment. I needed quickly some funding and I sticked this cross up on sale. Because from where I got it, I am sure it was awarded to someone from any local Irish regiments, who fought in Balkans, but unfortunately I can't confirm it and I just can't keep everything, what I have and do not fit with my current collecting interest.
