Von Thronstahl Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Here is a photo of Kingdom Yugoslavia naval officer. Is this Double dragon order he wears and which grade? It is still unclear to me how Kingdom Yugoslavia officer could get it? Maybe he got it while serving in Austro-hungarian navy. It was prohibited to wear Au medals and orders in Yugoslavia but maybe foreign orders were not forbidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Yes, this is double dragon order. Second type, firth class. This class was reserved for merchants (guess our boy was helping to carry all these goods across the oceans). Best, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drclaw Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Thanks for posting this very interesting photograph. The Fourth and Fifth Class Double Dragons were very rarely awarded, especially the Fifth Class so seeing a photograph of an actual recipient is a real pleasure. Do you know the name and background of this chap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drclaw Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Von Thronstahl has provided me with an image of the reverse. Would anyone be able to translate the Cyrillic? It would (hopefully) provide us with information about the recipient. In the full photo, the chap is standing with a very attractive lady in 1920s costume.
