First type of submarine badge.

One more "unknown producer", couple of similar orders can be seen in Car/Muhić book but none of them are looking exactly like this. Elements of 4th and 5th class orders combined together. Crown is strange, my first thought when I saw it was that someone replaced it, but now I think there's bigger probability that it's original. Pieces of white enamel are still there together with something that looks like traces of red enamel in the upper part of the crown. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_11_2014/post-7937-0-96223000-1415400031.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_11_2014/post-7937-0-63393800-1415400128.jpg

Now something really unusual. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_11_2014/post-7937-0-86566400-1415398557.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_11_2014/post-7937-0-04176500-1415398575.jpg

Your theory made me think of something else. Perhaps we are dealing with a replacement order, I can easily imagine foreign recipient avoiding official channels and ordering new piece from one of the workshops, if nothing that must have been much simpler. PS just one small correction, order that went to history together with Obrenovićs was Order of Miloš (Obrenović) the Great. Miloš Obilić was bravery medal introduced by the rival dynasty.

Language errors are not that rare, like you mentioned most often use of Latin alphabet letters instead of Cyrillic (N instead of Н, Z instead of З, H instead of И, R instead of B) also use of different symbols for the same letter. But I've never seen this type of inscription or inscription with these type of mistakes, I went through my archive and available literature but I wasn't able to find one more example like that. Apart from the inscription one more unusual detail is the fact that the bow that connects palm branches in enameled! So far I've seen only one Takovo star with bow like that (in a book), all the rest were not enameled. And those palm branches are different from what I'm used to seeing. All in all very strange looking star. By the way there was one very unusual 4th class on emedals auction not that long ago, and that order also had boar's head hallmark.

On the other hand details like that can be seen on some Arthus-Bertrand pieces + remember that boar's head hallmark, so far matches up. Take for comparison this star of the Order of St. Sava from emedals. Cross shape (notice oval piece in the center, perhaps something like that was originally on Takovo as well) + two extra needles.

I agree about the tips, but I've noticed more unusual details. Parts of the star that form "Iron Cross" looking shape are marked on the photo, also those two extra needles which are not something you can see on "regular" Takovo.

Just for comparison.

I am not sure but the hallmark on the needle seems to be French (boar's head). http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_11_2014/post-7937-0-27793200-1415301844.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_11_2014/post-7937-0-23160300-1415301891.jpg

It got sold on ebay last month, I've never seen anything like that before. The shape of the star is obviously different but take a look at the badge especially the inscription (КНПЗА И ОТСЧЗСТВО). http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_11_2014/post-7937-0-09817700-1415301757.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_11_2014/post-7937-0-17625400-1415301679.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_11_2014/post-7937-0-71708600-1415301728.jpg
