Sorry for late reply, the order looks great, enamel is perfect! Thanks for better images, About the producer I agree with Rogi

I am sure that he already sent you images of those Rothe examples, here's how their hallmarks look like.

FR + purity of silver on the suspension ring.

.

One of the awards appear to be Ottoman and the other at least not Romanian.

I agree, looks like Order of the Medjidie to me...

Much better quality. More details.

Photos of a "museum level replica" that has recently appeared on ebay.
It is offered by the same seller that has those Yugoslav Grand Stars and Double Dragons both already discussed on the forum.

Photo of original piece from Bjeloš collection found online.

I forgot to mention that they are offered as "ROMANIA 20TH ANNIVERSARY CIVIL WAR IN SPAIN". Pretty obvious fakes...

More.

More interesting stuff from the same source.
Fifth Spain fighters congress badge.

Absolutely amazing piece, my congrats!

Enamel looks perfect, box is in very nice shape with golden coat of arms of the Principality of Montenegro on the lid unbelievably preserved after all these years. Even the recipient is know, really can't get much better than that

Many thanks for sharing it with us

Thanks for clarification

Many thanks for new information and photos!

In this topic http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/6396-montenegro-bravery-award/?p=241117 2nd class set is presented for which it is said that it is made by Russian producer Igor Ozeretski. I tried to find some info on that producer but had no luck...

As for the gazette, there could be multiple reasons why it isn't listed in the Gazette, I know of a couple Serbian officers whos British orders aren't listed in the London Gazette, yet they have definatley received them

A member of my family was awarded with Distinguished Service Order and Order of the Bath, I know this for sure because I have a copy of his file and also DSO can be seen on one of the photos I have in my possession. I tried to find him in the Gazette, all possible variations of his name, but no result... In the end I gave up.

Sorry for going off topic.

And for the end King Petar I.

Larger medal bar, still on the last place.

King Aleksandar Obrenović.

Couple of photos of Serbian Kings with the cross. Notice the placement of the cross on their medal bars.

First King Milan Obrenović.

Is there such a thing as an official Order of Precedence for Serbian awards of this period? That would decide the issue, I think.

I found it!

Wow!

The way those medals are worn, however, would make any Chancellor of Honours scream! ... wrong order ... and in two rows!! Good thing she was a civilian.

Sounds like she spent too much time with the Serbs Over here it was not that unusual to see that even officers didn't mount their medals on a bar according to regulations

You are most welcome Glen!

There is official Order of Precedence, it was posted somewhere on the forum I'll try to dig it up... I think that Red Cross decorations were on the last place, Rogi mentioned that they were usually worn after all other decorations (or at least that's where they should have been placed).

I found one more interesting photo of a Red Cross Order recipient, and it is also mounted on the medal bar.

She also received St. Sava and Charity Cross.

As for the producer I believe that it's most likely to be Hugenin considering the period in which it was awarded. Of course I could be wrong...
