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!

Thanks Paul! So just #8 is still problematic.
Here's one more very interesting photo with different medal bar. I'm guessing it should be from somewhere between 1883 and 1886.White Eagle, Takovo with Swords and St. Sava 1st class.
Medal bar:
1) Restoration of the Kingdom Medal
2) White Eagle
3) Takovo V with Swords
4) St. Sava
5) Russian Order of St. George
6) Bulgarian Order of Bravery (III grade 2nd class, he's one of 9 cavaliers of the Order of Bravery I grade)
7) Order of the Star of Romania with Swords
8) Wars for Liberation and Independence Commemorative Medal
9) Romanian Military Virtue Cross
10) ???0 -
I've had this photo for some time and I was never able to correctly identify all of the medals on medal bar.
Do you gentlemen perhaps recognize some of them?
I believe photo was made somewhere between 1898 and 1900 during his son's reign. At that time Milan was the supreme commander of the army.
I'll also post other photos I found online over the years.White Eagle, Takovo with Swords and St. Sava 1st class.
Medal bar:
1) 40 Years of St. Andrew's Day Assembly Medal
2) Restoration of the Kingdom Medal
3) Wars for Liberation and Independence Commemorative Medal
4) 60 Years of King's Guard Medal
5) Serbo-Bulgarian War of 1885-86 Commemorative Medal
6) Serbian Red Cross Order
7) Romanian Military Virtue Cross
8) ??? perhaps Romanian Defenders of Independence Medal
9) ??? Franz Joseph 50 Years of Reign Medal (or something else with Franz on front side)
10) ??? Turkish?
11) ??? Turkish?0 -
Thanks, I tried to dig up something about that badge but so far nothing.
Official regulations from 1989 state that members of the Presidency wore same kind of metal badge as officers. I don't know if that was the case before '89.
Translation: Five-pointed star with metal base for cap of active military officers of the ground forces and air force, except generals and for war uniform cap of members of the Presidency of SFRY.
Collar tab and shoulder strap for war uniform of members of the Presidency.

Thanks Rogi, for some reason I always thought it must be something domestic.
If it's foreign it's less likely to be identified based on that photo.0 -

One more brilliant White Eagle appeared not that long ago. I've been discussing it with Utopis today, here's the link for those who missed the auction: http://www.zeige.com/cgi-bin/cat-art-index.pl?art_no=393&rubrik=6100&lang=d&kat=auktionskatalog

According to information I dug up since I started this topic person in question was awarded with Takovo V in 1893, and became captain 1st class in 1894.
So the photo was made somewhere between 1894 and 1900.
I am still not sure what could that medal be so if anyone has any ideas I'm more than interested to hear them.0

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).
