paja Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Nice photos! I think the second photo is from pre-1982 period so that officer holds the rank of lieutenant colonel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BalkanCollector Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Thanks for the bigger image! Here's an interesting way of wearing Kingdom and SFRY awards. Order of the Yugoslav Crown, Order of Military Merits with Silver Swords, Order of Merits for the People (possibly with Silver Star), Albanian Commemorative Medal and another medal which I'm unfamiliar with. It's porbably something commemorative. Here's a video where I've found it. Commemorating of Armistice Day in Paris during the 80's where Serbian Salonica front veterans were representing Serbia as an Ally country. Switch to 5:08 for the shot of the medals.

paja Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Interesting combination, I think the last medal is something related to the "Association for Preserving the Traditions of the Serbian Liberation Wars Until 1918" (Društvo za negovanje tradicija oslobodilačkih ratova Srbije do 1918).

BalkanCollector Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Unknown partisans wearing Soviet and Yugoslav type Commemorative Medal of the Partisan 1941. Also a good example of the same person wearing two different types. I can't identify the badge the person on the left side is wearing at the first photo.

paja Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Maybe he's wearing something like this: Photo found here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalkanCollector Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 It could be. This is the first time that I see this badge. Is it true that it was the commissar badge as the seller claims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Honestly, I don't know but I doubt it. Maybe it was some kind of an award pin or a pin given to the participants of a certain event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I think this NCO is wearing that badge from ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalkanCollector Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 It seems like he is. That's an unusual looking shoulder board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 There were two types of NCO shoulder boards. Those on the photo were introduced in 1946 and I think the other type with stars was used for couple of years during the fifties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalkanCollector Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 I know about that. I was actually confused because the stripes on the shoulder boards look like the half of them is cut off. Plus I was on my phone during the time I posted my last reply so the resolution wasn't that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 They do look cut off, especially the left one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
