Order of the Yugoslav Flag 4th class) It was established in 5 classes on November 26, 1947 in five classes Order of the Yugoslav Flag with Sash (Орден југословенске заставе са лентом) Order of the Yugoslav Flag with Golden Wreath (Орден југословенске заставе са златним венцем ) Order of the Yugoslav Flag with Golden Star on Cravat (Орден југословенске заставе са златном звездом на огрлици) Order of the Yugoslav Flag with Golden Star (Орден југословенске заставе са златном звездом) Order of the Yugoslav Flag with Silver Star (Орден југословенске заставе са сребрном звездом ) 4th class (with Golden Star) was awarded to the advisers of the state administrations of different countries, the first secretaries of the Ministries of foreign Affairs and others persons of similar rank. Only 955 awardings with 4th class were made until the end 1985.

+ full length original sash and rosette

P.S. Just to give you an idea how rare these are Paul In 1914, in the Imperial Suite were 51 adjutant General, 64 major General and rear Admiral and 56 aide-de-camp

Box interesting inlay

This incomplete "Paulownia" set from Meiji was sold today for 401,000 yen Hmmm Missing breast star + pretty salty (to put it mildly) sash badge ... Guess the price is close to "fair" No?

Obviously that badge in post # 1 has nothing to do with these badges. It looks like ugly phantasy fake. Like this one http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/59736-russian-1918-civil-war-st-george-medal-info/ P.S. Believe me dear Paul you were the only reason for my posting in this thread!

Badge for those holding the ranks of Major-General and Rear-Admiral in the Suite of the Emperor Nicholas II Gold wreath of laurel and oak branches bound by a gold ribbon tied in a bow. Inside the wreath is the silver cypher of the Emperor Nicholas II beneath the silver Imperial crown

As far as I know there were three types of badges (all established on January 21, 1909) Badge for those holding the ranks of Major-General and Rear-Admiral in the Suite of the Emperor Nicholas II Badge for those holding the rank of aide-de-camp in the Suite of the Emperor Nicholas II Badge for those who held two ranks in the Suite of the Emperor Nicholas II and that`s it.

Actually I`ve never heard about badge for "pageboys, NCOs and privates" Badge in posts 11-12 is not a badge, but sign on cross-belt for the Life-guard hussar regiment of His Majesty.

Does it?!

Definitely much more rare than this later "general" badge

Yep. Udarnik of Communist labor. Not that rare early variation of the badge that (allegedly) was issued for Latvia. Sometimes they refer to this badge simply as "type 1959".

Current starting price for this one is $1350 and "buy it now" price is $1400
