    1. WHen I bought it I thought he was Turkish but now I see he definitely isn´t. Is it possible he is Albanian? My only clue is eagle on the cap/fez.
    2. Is it possible to find out soldier/sailors name with a POW number? I have an German soldier estate and he was POW in Cairo. I have this bracelet with a number. Number is 42324. Are there any lists I can refer to?
    3. Yes, I can. I will post it little bit later. Let me put my kids to sleep first.
    4. I˙ve got this soldiers estate and it would be great to find out soldiers/sailors name if possible. Maybe I should post this question in GB & Commonwealth section instead of here. He was POW in Cairo and his number is 42324. Is it possible that he was a sailor cause of Hamburg Hanseatic cross? Is this
    5. This medal bar was recently sold. I was tempted to bid cause I collect Austro-Hungarian medals but I was not sure if Albert cross is original. Also not sure about originality of medal bar. Can you tell me is this Albert cross original and if yes, what do you think of medal bar.
    6. I need info about this cap. I've found info about similar cap that it is 1908 chetnik cap. It was found near Skradin, Croatia and the family it comes from had strong links with Serbian Sokol organisation. I will post better photos when I get it.
    7. This is extraordinary. I only saw it once before and I was non winning bedder.
    8. Hi Grone, If you are interested in 23rd Feldpost cards let me know. We can meet in person cause I live in Preko.
    9. It was very common practice in Yugoslavia to decorate gravestones of a Spomenica holders with Spomenica castings.
    10. Thank you for your answer Japanx. Can you tell me which type is this and what is its value in this condition? I am looking to buy it and it is part of bigger lot. There is also "urkunde" for Double dragon and for Japanese Order of the Rising sun 5th class.
    11. Hi guys, I am looking to buy this Double Dragon order. It is part of the S.M.S. Zenta officer´s lot I´ve recently found in my neighbourhood. I already have few portrait photos and officer´s heir told me that he has his Chinese and Japanese medals with related documents. In one of the portraits he is wearing Double Dragon breast and Order of the rising sun 5th class. Can you tell me which class of the order is this? It is obvious this is not a breast star and there is visible mark on one of the rays, where it was hooked somehow . And if it is possible, could you tell me the price of the order in this condition? And price for a document too. It was awarded to a Austro Hungarian navy officer. Fregattenleutnant . https://imgur.com/dSd1v4U https://imgur.com/bhiDDe3 https://imgur.com/lVZ9gNW https://imgur.com/W1KgGrK i don´t know what is wrong but I can´t post photos so I posted links only.
    12. This is more than I expected. Thank you very much for your help Christian1962 .
    13. I need help with this guy. I can˙t read text written on the reverse.
    14. These photos are from your collection?
    15. Thank you once again for your help Owain.
    16. Thank you very much Owain. Do you think that Yugoslavian navy NCO or officer could be awarded this medal?
    17. Medal is part of probably one persons lot of medals and badges I found recently. Owner was probably ex Yugoslavian navy NCO or officer. I don˙t know the name or any other information cause lot was found in a garbage container by local drunk who sold it to me. I assume owner was navy cause I found some USSR navy badges. Yugoslav navy ships also visited ports of Arab countries quite often. I can´t find any similair medal and I think it might be Egyptian cause eagle reminds me of Egyptian coat of arms. Any suggestions?
    18. I am not sure what Krakau in this case means but there were few ships operating in Krakow and Pulawy, on the Vistula river. It was Vistula Flotilla and their assignment was to relive military transport on the railways.
    19. I would like to know more about this medal. There is no info on the web. There are literally hundreds of similar medals on the market. Every unit or ship has one. Are they commemorative(veteran pieces coined post ww1 or ww2?
    20. I agree. I knew it from the start but asked anyway. Thank you for your time gentlemen.
    21. I have this medal for long time sitting in my drawer. It´s probably fake but I need to ask you, who are more knowledgeable before I sell it as fake. I can say that it is made of silver and it has Russian silver hallmark. I am not sure if hallmark is fake or not.
