Greetings gentlemen, I would like to present you pictures of the WWI commemorative medal for civilinas in a mint condition along with the the original bag. This is not my field of intrest so I would like to ask couple of questions. On the internet I have found that near 250 000 of these medals were awarded in total, but nowhere have I found how many of these with white stripe on the ribbon were awarded. It that number known? Second thing, could someone please tell me what would be today's price of this medal in such a great shape along with the bag. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Paja

Sorry, I forgot to post pictures. Unfortunately my camera is broken so I can't post more details, these are the only pictures that I have on my HDD. And just one small correction in my previous post I wrote "the lover the grade is.." instead of the loWer

Drugo, thanks for so many beautiful pictures and details! The order looks great! I have in my collection the Order of the Yugoslav flag with golden wreath (2nd class) unfortunately only the breast star without necklace. Strange thing about this order is that the lover the grade is - the rarer it is, so the 5th class is the rearest(!?) Except the 3rd class which was awarded somewhere about 1440 times, if I'm not mistaking. Colud someone please tell me what's the approximate worth of my class without necklace. Thanks in advance. Best regards Paja

Picture of kalpak.

If I'm right this should be, acording to the Pavle Vasic's book Uniforms of the Serbian army 1808/1918, uniform of the cavlary guard officer from 1859. It was consisted of dolama made of green cloth, trousers of red cloth, brown overcoat and cap (kalpak) of black astrakhan with flat top. But the illustration in the book is much different from the picture that I have. So I'm wondering whether it is the same uniform. Any help or comment is more than welcome. Regards Paja

@Emanuel Look for the name of that officer in your inbox.

Nice picture leigh kitchen! Does anyone recognize breast badges, worn by the three officers in the back? Are they 1912-1920 wars veteran badges or something else?

Thanks Mike :cheers:

Both of these orders belong to my cousin. He inherited them from his grandfather, Serbian army major and 1912-1918 wars veteran. The Order of the White Eagle with Swords: The order of the Karageorge Star with Swords:

Mike and Sasa you're welcome! Unfortunately i had to compress them (the 70K restriction), they look much better in full resolution.

This cockade belonged to my great-grandfather, i think it was introduced in 1934 after the assassination of King Aleksandar I. ПII stands for Петар II (Petar or Peter) the last king of Yugoslavia. After the fall of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in '41, my great-grandfather, like the rest of Serbian officers in the army of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, was sent to POW camp in Germany. He spent 4 years in that camp and after the war ended the only thing he brought back from captivity was this cockade and the the dog tag he received in camp.

This link may be useful, there's a picture of a medal with what seems to be an original ribbon: http://awards.netdialogue.com/Europe/Yugoslavia/Serbia/1886CC/1886CC.htm Regards Paja
