      Recipients of Order of Takovo a.o.

      in Southern European & Balkan States

      Posted

      I would like to thank Joris this way as well for sending me the list of Belgian recipients of Serbian decorations from WW1 era, priceless information I never before had a chance to see! Many thanks!  :beer:

       

      Here's the list of British recipients of KaraÄ‘orÄ‘e Star with Swords from the book "Knights of the Star of KaraÄ‘orÄ‘e with Swords" by Tomislav Vlahović.

       

       

      *I, II, III, IV RED means (pretty obviously) I, II, II, IV class, ZKZM means Golden Soldiers' Cross with Swords and SKZM means Silver Soldiers' Cross with Swords

      Yugoslavia Parachute Instructor badge in gold

      in Southern European & Balkan States

      Posted

      I am not expert on these badges, especially not parachute ones, so don't take my opinion too seriously, but I think yours is one of those that turned up recently on the market. Anyway whether they are unissued, newly made with original tools or fakes I really can't say for sure. 
      When I asked for opinion about badges with gilded back side on one Slovenian forum, a member who I consider expert replied "I do not recommend purchase".

      Recipients of Order of Takovo a.o.

      in Southern European & Balkan States

      Posted

      Hi!

      I've read in the book of Pavel Carr about the history of Serbian and yugoslavian orders, that only the military version (Takovo ith swords) could still be worn in the Karageorge dynasty, as a act of recognition in wartime. So it's only worn by officers.

      That might be the official rule, but as we can see on photos regulations were often violated. Just take a look at the placement of decorations on medal bars, very often they are put together not according to the order of precedence. I've seen many photos of officers wearing Takovo without swords during Karađorđević era, I even saw a photo of some colonel wearing Order of Miloš (but I suppose he must be reserve officer).

       

      I am very interested in getting that list of Belgian recipients of Serbian decorations! Thanks fir the offer, I am sending you my email at once  :beer:

      More fake submarine badges. Golden ones are definitely fake, I am not sure about the silver one, some details are suspicious but the overall quality of that one is obviously better.

      I checked some magazines and did a search online but so far nothing...

      Only thing I've managed to find was one more example on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/YUGOSLAV-LIFE-SAVING-LARGE-MEDAL-FOR-BRAVERY-/171557028462?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27f198826e&nma=true&si=f%252B2xJ59kYAe6k8%252B6D0HL9ZTHVBE%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

      Exhibition "100 Years of Serbian Air Force" (100 година srpskog vojnog vazduhoplovstva). I don't remember where I got these images from, many thanks to the original uploader!

      Decorations and items that belonged to Branko Vukosavljević (Бранко ВукоÑављевић), the first Serbian Air Force commander.
