Something one won't see too often, especially in one pile!

The creation of the submarine badge in the Kingdom of SHS was ordered after acquiring two French-type submarines. Two badge variants were made—one for the older English-type submarines and one for the French-type. Both badges were crafted in gilded bronze with similar designs but differing submarine silhouettes and relief details. The first type features the boats "Hrabri" or "Nebojša," while the second type boats "Smeli" or "Avenger." Both badges have a laurel wreath, crown, and knot, with differing sizes and a registration number on the back. On November 5, 1937, a unified submarine badge was introduced for all crews in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The badge, made from 900/1000 silver and weighing 30 g, featured a wreath, submarine silhouette, anchor, and royal crown. Crew members could wear it temporarily or permanently, and those with significant submarine service could wear it permanently. The badge was worn on uniforms in specific locations and not during submarine service or while on the mother ships. Here a 1st type badge awarded to all crew members of submarines "Smeli" and "Osvetnik". These few badges were produced by "Greisbach and Knaus" and listed in their 1930 catalog. The is marked by the manufacturer on the reverse and engraved with a Roman numeral "VIII", another badge is known with the numeral "XII".

Closure on the Balloon Observer Badge

Would you mind sharing the names of the other generals who's faces don't match? I tend to think now that the PlM was not awarded during the Napoleonic wars but later.

Would anybody be willing to get a copy of the book "ZA OJCZYZNĘ I NARÓD 300 LAT ORDERU ORŁA BIAŁEGO Praca zbiorowa" for me?

Does a St. Vladimir with crown even exists?

Could you share those names? Also, to me, and as the St. Anne Star with Crowns is present, the sequence looks to me more like: Order of St. Stanislas 1st Class Order of St. Vladimir 2nd Class Prussian Pour le merite Order of St. Vladimir 3rd Class with Crown The golden Star would then be the St. Stanislaus star. Wrong overall color, but there is that green!

So if he was awarded the 2nd class after a already awarded 3rd class (as seen here on the medal bar) he would only wear the star?

He is not listed within the standard literature. The man looks different to Joseph Carl Anrep-Elmpt.

But would he not have worn the 2nd class cross on his neck? He has a 3rd class on his medal bar though. What are those medals he is wearing anyway? He does have the Prussian Pour le Mérite. (See attached) the portrait and the order came with a princely inventory tag named "Joseph Anrep XXX" the 3rd word is not readable.

Can anybody identify the golden star on this man's chest, better yet, identify the man himself?

It's not just that mate. This one is the only original in this post.

This is how the real thing looks like. (None Godet made)

OK, thank you!!!

Here is the reason for the victory assumtion.

Can somebody help identifying this star?

That would fit, as I got this and the South Africa Medal from Canada! Thanks guys, this helps a lot.
