      According to that article 208 members of the regiment received Star of Krađorđe, another 36 were double recipients.

    3. Order of the White Eagle with Swords 2nd class awarded to Air Force and Air Defense as a branch. 

      Order received by Air Force commander brigadier general Ranko Živak (Ранко Живак).

    4. One more detail which I find unusual is that all of the orders with the same look are not hallmarked.

      When it comes to orders with lower numbers (under 1k) that's OK, but I thought that orders with higher numbers should all be hallmarked...

      By the way what's the biggest number you've seen? So far almost all that I've seen (not counting conversion types) were in 2K range. Some of these that I speak of are over 3K.

       

       

    5. Lately I've noticed Brotherhood&Unity first classes with strange central medallion. Take a good look at the torches!

      Now are these really fake or not I can not say but I personally think that something's wrong with them.

      What do you gentlemen think?

       

      On the first look you might miss it.

    6. My congrats on your recent appointment and many thanks for sharing those pages from the book, especially the one with the badge of the First Serbian Volunteer Division.

      This is the first time I see it, truly amazing piece!

    7. Greetings,

      I've heard about your new book but still haven't got a copy of my own. Knowing your previous publications this one must be very interesting as well! 

      I would like to mention one more book that somewhat deals with this matter "Recollections of Serbian Officer 1900-1918" by Vojislav Å ikoparija (Сећања ÑрпÑког официра 1900-1918 - ВојиÑлав Шикопарија).

      It was also published recently, and the author is my relative's grandfather who was cadet in Kiev Cadet Corps and later finished Alexandrovsky Military School. He returned to Serbia and was promoted to infantry 2nd lieutenant in September 1912. just in time for the First Balkan War. Later after retreat through Albania he was sent to Odessa in 1916. as one of the officers which were to take part in creation of the First Serbian Volunteer Division. For his actions he was decorated with following decorations (among others): Order of the Star of KaraÄ‘orÄ‘e with Swords 4th class (1919), Order of the White Eagle with Swords 5th class (1915), Order of St. Vladimir with Swords 4th class (1917), Order of the Star of Romania with Swords 5th class (1917) and two MiloÅ¡ Obilić Bravery Medals.

    8. Found it! Photos from article "Partisan knife as a fist" by Branko Bogdanović (ПарттизанÑки нож као пеÑница - Бранко Богдановић).

      Second one belonged to Anton Å tevinović (mostly Serbian family from Novska - today in Croatia). 

      Piece is from Borna Barac's collection.
