    1. I'll upload images so we can still see them when the ad disappears.

    2. I've been digging up info on that unit and apparently it was formed in 1992. First name 72. десантно-јуришна бригада was "quickly" (I wasn't able to determine when exactly) changed to 72. специјална бригада ( 72nd Special Brigade). Brigade consisted of:

      -Military Police Counter-terrorist Battalion (Батаљон војне полиције за противтерористичка дејства)

      -1st Reconnaissance-Commando Battalion (1. извиђачко-диверзантски батаљон)

      -Sudden Strike Battalion (Батаљон за препадна дејства) - it's name was later changed to 2nd Reconnaissance-Commando Battalion

      -Support Battalion (Батаљон за подршку) - later leveled to company.

      -Logistic units.

      Inscription "Specijalna padobransko diverzantska jedinica" is strange, I think it's not name of some lower-level formation within brigade. There was for example Parachute Counter-terrorist Company as part of Military Police Counter-terrorist Battalion.

      I'm not sure but that other number could be VES (Војно-евиденциона специјалност ВЕС) number... If so it would be interesting to find out what specialty is behind that number.
      It would be great if we could discover when exactly was the first name of the brigade changed, if that happened before 94/95 I think we can presume that the tags are fantasy piece.

      Now about those tags in general (in Serbian матрикула) they were issued I think only during war (and perhaps during emergencies). For obvious reasons there should be two pieces of that paper with information inside case.

    3. You are are right those were used by JNA but I am pretty sure Army of Yugoslavia used them as well. Very similar cases were used in WW1 by Kingdom of Serbia.

      I checked that personal number (JMBG) here: http://jmbg.brmbrm.com/index.phpaccording to the results that person was born in Sarajevo.

      To be honest it's little unusual to see JMBG and name of the unit on dog tags, at least to me, but like I said I really don't know much about this subject...

    4. Rest of the photos.

    5. I'm writing on behalf of a friend who wishes to know if his badges are original or not.

      Being that I am far from expert for this field he would be very grateful to hear 2nd opinions.

      Many thanks in advance!
