Belgian Elisabeth helmet

Looks great! Can you tell us more about it? According to your signature I guess it's from Belgian Congo. -
Soviet Uzbekistan (post-Soviet) Awards
BalkanCollector replied to Ed_Haynes's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
This is probably a Russian medal since the text says "For loyalty to duty and fatherland" in Russian. -

Thank you for your opinion! Could this, by any chance be the replacement, tombak piece or is it just another copy? -

Croatian War memorial Cross 1992-1995
BalkanCollector replied to Gordon Craig's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
I've seen some of theses on a local flea market in Zagreb, Croatia, but I didn't know they were rarely awarded. It seems odd that the one that looks like breast star is the lowest grade and the one that's just a cross is the highest. -

Socialist Yugoslavia Ribbon Bars
BalkanCollector replied to BalkanCollector's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
Yeah. That one's pretty fishy to me too. It's interesting to see the SFRY to FRY transition on a ribbon bar. Do you know to whom did it belong? Judging by the Order of Freedom, it must have been Ojdanić or Pavković. -

Socialist Yugoslavia Ribbon Bars
BalkanCollector posted a topic in Southern European & Balkan States
I thought of creating this topic since we don't have any that relates to the matter. At least not to my knowledge. Here are some photos of my humble collection of those ribbon bars. In the future, I will also post some more photos which I collected on the internet. -
Yugoslavia Order of Yugoslavian People's Army
BalkanCollector replied to Bryan's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
That's an interesting one. It looks like it's Soviet. I guess that's one of the reason they didn't accept it.
