I have found couple of new scans of the FRY decorations, unfortunately not much better quality. Order of Yugoslavia http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_05_2013/post-7937-0-42208200-1368375885.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_05_2013/post-7937-0-67111600-1368375903.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_05_2013/post-7937-0-72624100-1368391843.jpg

I believe that you're right. It looks like someone just put central (back) medallion from the 1st type order (Scheid maybe?) on a typical Huguenin made order. Also Rogi mentioned that they've marked it as a replacement, I think that the Chancellery for decorations would issue "normal" order as a duplicate for example regular Huguenin, not a combination of a couple of different types. I could understand the opposite situation, if medallion with the year 1883 was applied on the first type order. For example Chancellery had some amount of orders with monogram on the back side and instead of getting rid of them when Karađorđević's came to power they just replaced the back medallions.

I agree, just take a look at this set including that decoration. It was sold 6 months ago on one Serbian ebay-like site for similar price (little less that 500$)... Sellers on ebay are also from ex-Yugoslavia countries...

Here's the Icon on my Huguenin order.

My congrats on the order, it looks great! The box is also well preserved. Perfect order to start your Serbian/Yugoslav collection with, may it be just the beginning of a great collection! Kind regards, Radmilo
