    2. Bayonets and daggers, notice the the third from the right. That's M24 ČK knife used by the members of the Četnik (Assault) Battalions formed in 1940.
    3. More pictures from different website. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2014/post-7937-0-16264300-1406222108.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2014/post-7937-0-73771000-1406222113.jpg http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2014/post-7937-0-67072500-1406222130.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2014/post-7937-0-59436700-1406222137.jpg
    4. Saint Sava, Serbian Red Cross decoration, Yugoslav Crown, Charity Cross, Queen Natalie medal and Academy badge (Higher School of Military Academy).
    5. This seemed like the best place to post couple of pictures from the exhibition held in Australia two years ago I recently stumbled upon online. "On Sunday, 15th July 2012, the parish of St Sava Mona Vale, commemorated the 100th Anniversary of the Liberation of Kosovo and Metohija (First Balkan War 1912-1913). At the St. Sava Pro-Cathedral the day began with the celebration of the Holy Liturgy by Very Rev. Stavrophor Fr. Saša Radoičić and deacons Nemanja Mrđenovic and Želimir Milović. In the Parish hall an exhibition was prepared of royal orders, decorations, medals and cocardes of the period 1859 to 1941. The collection is substantial and represents one of the best examples of Serbian militaria and royal orders in the southern hemisphere. Keen collectors and enthusiasts are Very Rev Fr Saša and Mr Slavko Marinkov." Artillery captain first class mundir according to the regulations from 1935 most easily recognized by the single row of buttons (before 1935 and from 1939 onward buttons were in two rows). M1939 dagger.
    6. That was a really funny detail to me as well I agree about the uniform, ribbon bar seems to be authentic though And that belt he's wearing also looks pretty similar to the ones used by the YPA.
    7. I happen to have ribbon bar with the same order of ribbons. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2014/post-7937-0-44267200-1405860985.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2014/post-7937-0-63401400-1405860993.jpg
    8. Looks like our friend was decorated with Yugoslav: -Order of the People's Army 3rd class -Order of Military Merits 3rd class -30 Years of YPA -30 Years of Victory Over Fascism -40 Years of YPA
    9. First I must point out that I noticed this detail by accident while trying to find something decent on TV, I avoid movies rated 3.0 on IMDB http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1153546/?ref_=nv_sr_2 Now take a look at this
    10. Many thanks for sharing this amazing piece with us together with a remarkable research story behind it! My congrats! Best of luck in the further research!
    11. Me as well, I even wanted to start a topic with decorated Serbian priests but just wasn't able to gather that much material. Anyway very interesting topic, thanks for the effort.
    12. You are welcome. I don't think that that kind of a uniform was used by the police or gendarmerie, their uniforms were very different, at least to my knowledge. I am not a big expert for uniforms but I've never seen anything like that being used is Serbia/Yugoslavia so my personal opinion is that it's foreign.
    13. Actual uniform of the cavalry colonel that belonged to Prince Mihailo. Photos are from "Official dress in Serbia". http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_06_2014/post-7937-0-89359100-1403630467.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_06_2014/post-7937-0-71301500-1403630459.jpg
    14. Prince Mihailo Obrenović wearing uniform from that era. I am not sure which branch.
