I have completely forgot about possibility he was in merchant navy.   Thank you Paul once again.

Thank you Paul.   

Fifth Class: for businessmen and traders

How did he got this medal as a soldier!? 

Here is a photo of Kingdom Yugoslavia naval officer. Is this Double dragon order he wears and which grade?  It is still unclear to me how Kingdom Yugoslavia officer could get it? Maybe he got it while serving in Austro-hungarian navy. It was prohibited to wear Au medals and orders in Yugoslavia but maybe foreign orders were not forbidden.

Looks Like a fourth or fifth class type 2 Dragon to me, might be worth posting in the Chinese section.

Paul

Sorry meant Double-Dragon

I thought of Double dragon too but I couldn´t find specimen with "rays" like this.

Help needed with this medal.   I think it is not Kingdom Yugoslavia medal. Even my  knowledge about KY medals and orders  is very poor,  I think design of the medal is definitely not Yugoslavian. "Mérite maritime" medal looks similar but I think it isn´t it.  Maybe you gentlemen could help me. 

I think last one is post war Larry.

Here are 6 of them in my possession. I would like to see patches from your collections and maybe we could learn something new about them. Me for example. I don´t now who were their makers, differences between makers, Reichsmarine, KM and postwar examples,.....,etc.  You got the point   

I agree with Rogi, Chris. It was good intention tip and there are only 2 fake items. Other are all good and some of them are priced really cheap.

And I have found Kustenartillerie patch on the same page with Croatian stuff for friends collection.

Cloth items are fake.  Air legion is fake and Linden leaf never existed in cloth variant.  Others are  almost all standard "bodenfund"  stuff from Slovenia.

Here are some of my photos.  

Again, same seller selling fake submarine badges.

Here are some of mine Chetnik photos: 

Back sidewith some writings. I can´t read it despite the fact I learned cyrilic at school.  Maybe native speaking and writing members could help me.

Here is another "conversion" of SS dagger but to partisan knife.  This was once in my possession and it was bought directly from an old man who didn´tknow anything but that is a knife.  

Sorry for the off topic. 

Please, put a direct link to auction. I went through their page and found nothing.  

THank you in advance

Hello,

This is my first post here but I am not new to this forum. My name is Frane and I come from Croatia. Mostly I am interested in diving related militaria and non military stuff.

I came across this Imperial Russian diver badge and I would like to know is it genuine? Russian imperial stuff is unknown to me so please help me.

Here are the photos:
