    1. Any thoughts on this water bottle? The seller claims it's from Rommel's African Corps.
    2. That's awesome. My grandpa found 1 dinar coin from 1925 while digging up a well at our house at countryside.
    3. 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.
    4. 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
    5. Remarkable sabre! I love that Aleksandar's "A" with a crown and the lion.
    6. Of course. I will post the photos as soon as I find them.
    7. 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?
    8. Screw the machine gun look at that beautiful gun handle Just kidding. Great photos Paja!
    9. 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.
    10. Incredible find! Finding it after almost 30 years is amazing. Good luck with that entry!
    11. Interesting list and so many international decoration as well.
    12. Interesting. I'm not a collector of binos but I happen to have one post WWII USSR piece and it looks a lot like this German binos on the second pic.
    13. Very interesting group from such a historical person. Thanks for sharing it with us Paja!
    14. You're probably right. Some guy on the other forum was wondering what it might be and no one had a clue.
    15. Any clue where is it from?
    16. I don't know if this is an A-H ribbon but I guess it is since it's triangular. Any help on identifying it?
    17. I'm not an expert on handwriting but it would be really cool if it's real. I'm having a wild guess but the paper looks of a newer production than 1936 so I think it could be fake.
    18. We've been facing devastation of Partisan memorials and monuments in some parts of Croatia and ex-Yugoslavia in general and I'm really pissed to hear about any desecration of history. Hope these bastards get caught and punished.
    19. Why does Miloš Obrenović look so sad here? Nice stuff btw.
    20. That's Mihailo not Mihajlo. It may sound the same but it's actually not. Plus Mihailo was reserve Corporal like you stated and my my great-great-grandpa was a Zugsführer. Thanks for your help anyways.
    21. Anyone know more about this medal? Seems like it's a commemoration medal for the brigade but I've never heard about it before nor can I find any more info.
    22. Remarkable paintings!
