Thanks Paul, even though there are a lot of museums in Serbia most of their websites are unfortunately either obsolete or very poor when it comes to presentation. Whatever I manage to find I'll put here.

After the death of Prince Arsen, brother of King Petar I, his son Prince Pavle (Prince Paul of Yugoslavia) gave all of his decorations to the Military Museum. Today only 4 of them are still kept in the museum, everything else was lost after the war.

Order of the White Eagle 3rd grade, 1st type - I think K. Fleischhacker

I really like that M51. I have never seen one of those before. Also, those are some amazing medal bars.

Those Yugoslav M51 submachine guns (cal 7.62mm), also known as Matić-Cvetić prototypes, were made especially for the Day of the Army (22. December) in a very limited number and were given to high officials, Tito's generals. I have read somewhere that the name of the receiver was inscribed on every piece.

Last year I was able to see in person and take a picture of the piece that used to belong to General Koča Popović.

You are welcome.

The box looks great, nice catch!

Greetings Obi,

It looks like the box is for the Order of the Cross of Takovo, 4th grade. Just for comparison: http://www.emedals.com/collectors-gallery/europe/serbia/orders/order-of-takovo/case-order-of-takovo-2

Regards,

Radmilo

You are welcome.

That's organisation's official badge. SUBNOR (Federation of Associations of Veterans of the National Liberation War is maybe the best translation) was formed couple of years after the war as a, among other things, political organisation that would gather members of the partisan movement. SUBNOR still exists today http://www.subnor.org.rs/

Best regards,

Radmilo

Greetings,

That is the badge of SUBNOR (Savez udruženja boraca Narodnooslobodilačkog rata) communist Yugoslavia organisation that gathered fighters from National Liberation War.

Kind regards,

Radmilo

St. Anna officer's shashka M1881

Dagger that belonged to Louis William, Margrave of Baden-Baden

Officer's saber M1955 (Converted M1920)

Radmilo thanks neither were overendowed with beauty but Draga wasn't as hideous as that medal portrayed.

Interesting photos on the first Alexander is clearly wearing the Order Milosh the Great before the White eagle, while in the second group he is not wearing the Order of Milosh, yet Draga has a particularly sexy Milosh breast star so presumably the photo of Alexander was made before 1898 while the photo of Draga was post wedding (sloppy cut and pasting by the postcard manufacturer).

Paul

I agree Paul, in the lower right corner a year 1903 is inscribed, if the picture was really taken that year it is possibly one of their last. Here are the "originals" of the other one.

Kind regards,

Radmilo
