Remarkable paintings!

Still couldn't find him... :/

Thanks for the link but it's only for the missing people and victims of the wars and the search is still under construction.

Yeah, there will always be those people who'll try to screw the others...

Thanks for sharing those images.

I'm sure he didn't serve in Kingdom nor SCS Yugoslavia. He was probably demobbed in 1918 and lived like a peasant until his death.

Such an awesome collection. I always loved the Order of the National Flag.

My German isn't so good to be honest so I'm having trouble understanding the page on that link. I can only find soldiers which were killed on that link?

I wish I knew some more information about him...

Anyways, thank you for your time and effort, I really appreciate it.

Yes, I can see those hallmarks.

Now that you've mentioned it, I do see there is another number so the number is in fact 63,000+. Also I see a hole where the screw was. Thank you for your continuous help

I have two of this orders. One is an IKOM made with a screw, 5 torches and the number is 59,000+. The other is a ZIN made with a pin, 6 torches and the number is 6,000+.

My question is, how can a model with 6 torches have far smaller number than the one with 5 torches considering the fact that the models with 5 torches were made before the models with 6 torches?

Unfortunately I only know that he was born in modern day Croatia. My guess would be that he was born at Varaždin, Ludbreg or Koprivnica.

Is this just another fantasy or it is really a unique piece? I'm wondering because I've seen some fakes being sold by this seller before.

I'm starting to think that seller is in a deal with ebay. Either that or ebay employees are uneducated on this matter considering the fact that it was recommended under militaria section.

This also. Check out the other stuff from this seller, it's full of fakes.

The saddest part is that ebay actually recommended it under the militaria section.

Thanks!

I don't think if it's possible to reach any info on his service but I would appreciate any help. His name was Mihajlo Jagodić. I only know he fought in the Battle of Cer, the first allied victory of the WWI. That means he was in the Second or Fifth Army. I also know he died in 1941. Killed by the Croatian Nazi collaborators Ustashas. I also got a picture of him with the two medals.

Received it today. I was surprised it weighs more than the Yugo made one.

When it comes to fake documents the best way to check it's authenticity is to look at the paper. The paper used here is cleary of modern production. 

I haven't seen anything like this. It's strange how the bullet got right through the middle of the medal.

Alright, thanks for the info. I got it for 5€ so it's not a big damage.

Seems like lead to me...

I got a strange looking wound badge today at a flea market so I'm wondering if it's real.

The front looks alright to me.

Reverse is rather strange.

Closer look of the marking or something.

It's thick which is also strange.

Additional info:

-it weighs 67 grams

-4,5mm thick

-dimensions: 33x40mm

Thanks for the info!

Does anybody know how many Russian types were made?

Yeah, this seller is from Maribor, Slovenia. Thanks for clearing this up.
