Really amazing decorations, most of them I saw for the first time in person. Taking photos is allowed, staff is very pleasant, I was even offered magnifying glass to look at the orders more carefully. You also get a free leaflet and as I already mentioned complete illustrated catalog in PDF can be downloaded for free (Just in case someone missed it I posted it here: http://gmic.co.uk/topic/57613-decorations-from-the-collections-of-the-serbian-museums/?page=11#comment-626092 ). 1.

    6. Very nice! Document for 3rd class awarded to Aleksa Radulović (Алекса Радуловић) public attorney, signed by King Aleksandar.
    7. Owain thank you very much for these information!
    8. Thanks Chris. I've done a little research and it turns out Egyptian orders were issued with buttonhole rosette (at least some of them). The main reason why I thought it could be Egyptian is because it belonged to Yugoslav diplomat who served there. Here's an example of 3rd class decoration with rosette (photo found on ebay).
    9. I stumbled upon this buttonhole rosette and I was wondering could it be for Egyptian Order of Merit 1st class?
    10. Medal for Contribution to the Defense System of the Republic of Serbia (photos found on ebay)
    11. Found these online. Medal for Exceptional Achievements in Military Service (Officers)
    12. Sometimes you can read comments that examples with such a huge numbers are from storage because there were around 120.000 of them awarded. That's not the case with this one because it came with a document, it was awarded in 1953. But we also know that decorations unfortunately weren't issued according to their number.
    13. Don't mention it Paul, all that I do is share images and material I find on Serbian websites
    14. I forgot to mention, complete catalog (in Serbian) is available for download on this page: http://www.arhiv-beograda.org/index.php/rs/izlozba-odlikovanja I will also upload it here just in case it one day disappears. Odlikovanja (Istorijski arhiv Beograda).pdf
    15. You're welcome. I've been trying to find someone I could borrow decent camera from for the exhibition. Anyway once I make photos I'll post them here.
