Beautiful indeed. I love the ribbon with all three flags and a map of the three countries on the medal.

Lovely!

You can tell it's fake by the screws alone.

Pieces of art indeed. Great stuff!

Such an interesting topic. Thanks to all of you who posted.

Alright, thanks again!

Ah yes, one more thing! Do you know what does "13" mean on the back of the cockade? I've found some on ebay that don't have the number on the back.

Cheers mate!

Thank you very much for the quick reply. My grandpa went on a few business trips to Soviet Union as an officer of Yugoslav People's Army in that period so it is possible that he got it there.

Can someone identify this hat badge?

Very nice photo!

Thank you for the info!

Superb stuff!

Very nice. I didn't know there's a British WWI cemetery in Niš.

Very nice! This topic is too large so I've missed it

I've never seen this order with a pin until today.

Any thoughts on this water bottle? The seller claims it's from Rommel's African Corps.

That's awesome. My grandpa found 1 dinar coin from 1925 while digging up a well at our house at countryside.

I'm sorry to hear that about your family members. Especially the one who was burried alive. I also have a copy of my family history and some of them ended their lives in horrific ways in both WWI and WWII. Let us never forget them.

Very nice piece. I've got the one in a nice condition with a replacement ribbon also. The price was lovely considering that I've payed around 10€ for it. I've read somewhere that a lot of those crosses were burried during WW2 when Bulgarians attacked some parts of Serbia because they would execute entire families who possessed the cross because it is the cross which was awarded for participation in the Second Balkan War as paja said, and the war was against Bulgaria. Here's my cross

Remarkable sabre! I love that Aleksandar's "A" with a crown and the lion.

Of course. I will post the photos as soon as I find them.

Interesting info, didn't know that. I can't find the picture of Yugo type with around 1000. If my memory serves me right it was 95X. One more question. If the number of the order is higher than the number of awarded orders (example 357 like Perović's) does that mean that they've made orders with numbers from 262-357 and simply haven't awarded them?

Screw the machine gun look at that beautiful gun handle Just kidding. Great photos Paja!

This one is 691...The same thing is with the Order of People's Liberation. It says that 262 were awarded but I've seen the Russian type go over 1000 and a Yugoslav type around 1000.
