orden_master Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Hello Kevinit's a pin of the Association of war volonteers of the Kingdom of Jugoslavia. They had a big reunion in 1931 and that was the purpose of this pin. The soldier is wearing a typical Serbian uniform with hat.Best regardsMilanHallo Gents, picked this one up at the weekend in the Collectors Fair, Targu Mures, Northern Romania.I liked the look of the old soldier on the front.Can anybody identify its purpose, and what it says on the front?Many thanks,Kevin in Deva.
