Don't mention it.
Unfortunately many historically significant objects "disappeared" from the Military Museum during wars, some even after the liberation of Belgrade in WW2.
This is the most complete collection of decorations that belonged to a Vojvoda.
There's a list of his decorations on Serbian Wikipedia page:

Exhibition "Vojvoda Petar Bojović - Decorations of Glory and Honor" (Војвода Петар Бојовић - знамења славе и части) will be held at Serbian Presidency building starting from tomorrow!
Vojvoda's son Dobroslav gave the decorations to Kosta Rakić to safeguard them around 60 years ago! Mr. Rakić who is now 94 years old decided it's finally time to present them to the public! According to information I found in couple of articles the collection consists of 26 decorations (not all were saved) including Order of the Star of Karađorđe 2nd class and Order of the White Eagle with swords 1st class!

Thanks for the link!

Thank you both for posting more images!
I see that the Order of Saint Peter of Cetinje is presented as a part of "badges and knight's crosses from around the world". A shame really because it's probably the rarest of all decorations in that display case. More info about it can be found here.0 -
The selection is better at night
I especially like when that guy from the Secretariat for Culture says how Serbian people must have been very happy when they got their own currency in the second half of the TWENTIETH century0 -
Amazing, thank you so much for sharing those photos with us!
The orders that caught my attention are Serbian White Eagle with Swords, Montenegrin Order of Danilo and extremely rare Order of Saint Peter of Cetinje! Any idea who might be the recipient? Did you by any chance made some closeup photos of it? I'd be very grateful if you could share them with us.
Among the medals I noticed Serbian I Balkan War Commemorative Medal, Albanian Retreat Medal and Golden Miloš Obilić Bravery Medal.

Maybe because he sits all day long at museum's storage and never goes out

The medal is definitely Slovenian, except for the "style" the inscription is in Slovenian, "I tAnkovska brigada".
According to some information I found online 800 of them were made, 600 numbered + 200.0 -

THE OBRENOVIĆ DYNASTY – DECORATIONS AND MONEY
Thirty-nine panels displayed at the Sava Promenade will show decorations, coins and banknotes issued during the reign of the Obrenović dynasty (1815–1839; 1858–1903). The presented items are part of the Collection of Coins and Medals of the Belgrade City Museum.Source: http://www.mgb.org.rs/en/desavanja/izlozbe/2016/item/1291-dinastija-obrenovic-odlikovanja-i-novac

I agree, it must have been added later. I won't say it's impossible that the order was awarded to a female but considering that it's with swords it sounds more likely that it wasn't. Of course there were female recipients of Karađorđe Star with Swords like Milunka Savić (Милунка Савић) and Flora Sandes, so who knows.

I don't remember seeing that medal before but it looks just like one of those Slovenian commemorative medals from the '80s. I've seen couple of medals of very similar design commemorating 40 years of Slovenian brigades and units.
There are also bunch of fakes on the market so one should be careful when acquiring them.0 -
The miniature looks just fine to me as well.
The only unusual thing is the pin, they came with suspension ring and ribbon.
Also the quality looks very good, I've seen some hideous miniatures of that order.
You can see more examples here.
One more thing, the miniature appears to be gilded so it should be 4th class or higher.0 -
You are welcome! Most of the Takovo Orders are hallmarked, Rothe usually put the mark on suspension ring or loop.
Looks like this one somehow escaped from the workshop before that
Anyway, a great catch, congrats!0 -
Sometimes sellers state that orders like that have small numbers, whether deliberately to achieve the higher price or not that's another thing. There are also Labor Orders & Orders of Merit for the People with partially visible number.
Examples from my collection.0 -
You can find photos of one Grand Cross set made by Rothe on emedals website here.
I still can't see all of the details but most of the features make me think of Rothe.0 -
Do you know did he serve in the Kingdom of SCS/Yugoslavia? If so perhaps something can be dug up, I pulled up couple of personal files for my ancestors from the Military Archive in Belgrade. They have NCO and officers' personal records, and although I didn't find couple of names I was looking for I think most of the files are saved.

Don't mention it, that's why we're here. Check the back side, it probably has IKOM and "rooster" hallmarks.

I think I read somewhere that there were golden badges but can't remember where exactly. Rudež doesn't mention them, I don't remember seeing any before and images are not very good.
