Certainly a possibility but in my opinion not likely. I think Austrian makers were still producing decorations for Kingdom of Serbia during Balkan wars. Take for example Karađorđe Star with Swords, it was first awarded during Balkan Wars and there are examples made by Scheid. Of course big question here is when were they ordered from the producer.

Don't mention it Paul, I didn't know you can read Serbian. There's also nothing on the medal in Decorations of the people of Yugoslavia in 19th and in first half of the 20th century (until 1941) from the Collection of the Military Museum in Belgrade by Mila Piletić nor Decorations of Serbia, Montenegro, Yugoslavia and Republic of Srpska by Dušanka Maričić.

It's a bit hard to translate but it goes something like this "Saint George be still for Serb example of defender of justice and truth" (Свети Ђорђе буди Србу и даље углед браниоца правде и истине). About the medal itself, unfortunately I never managed to discover who made it and to whom it was awarded. It's obviously related to First Balkan War. Scene on the reverse is very similar to the one seen on the back side of Medal of the Red Cross. Maybe because of that I always suspected it had something to do with that organization.

There is a sunburst type but there are badges with the same "pattern" underneath the enamel as on typical NCO/soldier type. When you look at the one everyone thinks is fake the pattern is completely "flat". First one GC posted, on blue cloth, also seems to be that way. I myself am far from expert on this matter so I can't say anything for sure especially when it comes to the one on red cloth... I saw couple of very similar badges before, at that time I thought they are original.

Two more photos. 1) Maurice and Lazarus 2) Legion of Honor 3) ???

You're welcome. Did I understand well that those 2 from ebay were also fakes? If so could you perhaps post images of them, I'm really interested to see how they look like.

Amazing, as always many thanks Paul! About that #5 I wasn't sure it wasn't Leopold but for some reason thought it's more likely Romanian Crown. #4 was a wild guess, perhaps then #6 could be Danish Elephant.

Greetings Tim, I don't see anything wrong with both of your hat badges. First one with "silver rays" was worn by Ground Forces, other one with "golden rays" by Militia (Police). They are larger hat badges for šapka (shapka - peaked cap).

I've been having hard time finding photos of him wearing foreign decorations. So far this one's the best, unfortunately some of the stars are not fully visible...

"Awards of the Third Yugoslavia", so far the only book I know about that deals with this matter. Photos found on ebay.

Now the hard work. His right side obviously: 1) Montenegrin Order of Danilo 2) French Legion of Honor 3) Italian Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus 4) Romanian Star Around the neck: Russian Order of St. George His left side: 1) Austro-Hungarian Order of St. Stephen (his son was also one of the recipients but neither one of them is listed on wiki) 2) Order of Takovo 3) ??? Order of the Red Eagle 4) ??? Danish Order of the Elephant (found his name among recipients on wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Knights_of_the_Order_of_the_Elephant#.C2.A0Serbia 5) Romanian Crown 6) ??? 7) Wars for Liberation and Independence Commemorative Medal 8) Romanian Medal of Military Virtue (not very well depicted but I'm pretty sure it must be it)

Order of Chivalrous Sword 2nd class

Greetings, First of all congrats on new additions to your collection! To tell you the truth I've seen those presidency uniforms before but I don't remember ever seeing cap. Thanks for photos. So there are at least two types of cloth badges like those, one with black and other with olive cloth. PS some time ago fellow collector on one Slovenian forum posted these photos. Everyone suspected this badge to be a fake so watch out!

I suspected it could be that one (on first photo under number 8) but just wasn't sure. Thanks for clarification!

I stumbled upon much larger image (than one on wiki) of him doing some unrelated search online. Underneath the same photo on wiki is written that it was made in 1935 while he was an ambassador to France.

Probably made on same occasion as the one above.
