Iver Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) SasaYU: I know, it?s not in good condition... but... was a present... I hope this photo helps to identify it... in the front of the cap is an oval badge missing... if it?s really serbian, it is possible to get that badge? how does it look? thanks...

Emanuel Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Greetings Sasa,I assume this is a cocarde from King's Peter I era, is that right?(Every King had his initials on these concardes like on the epoletes of his Officers) Edited May 5, 2009 by Emanuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcalkins Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I would say that it's a Serbian officers cap from late in the war, French made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I will try to find you a concade without Monogram in a good price.By the way,if you are interested in Serbian medals ,I put up for sale a nice one in our Sale subforum.http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=36817Kind regardsEmanuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcalkins Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Be sure you get a Serbian cockade, rather than a Yugoslav. The difference is in the order of the ring colors. The wartime Serbian cockade had white as the outside band color. I'm pretty sure of this, but try to double check.I think this is a French made late war cap for the following reasons...The cloth chinstrap was very common on mid and late war French kepis. The cap body is simplified with no piping or extra outside flap. The French and Brits supplied a lot of uniforms to the Serbs to refit the army at Corfu. Last, the visor is a typical short Serb/Russian style (later Yugoslav visors were wider and flatter).I collect WWI headgear from all the Balkan countries. If you are ever interested in selling, please give me a shot at it. bcalkins@thephxzoo.comfI will try to find you a concade without Monogram in a good price.By the way,if you are interested in Serbian medals ,I put up for sale a nice one in our Sale subforum.http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=36817Kind regardsEmanuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SasaYU Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Here is a cockarde of Kingdom of Yugoslavia, in use from 1921. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bovec1313 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'm enclosing pics of my Serbian officer's cap; acording to its shape, cap is from early period of WW1, (before Albanian retreat) Cap has gold braid for staff officers on the top, but it's quite dark due to age. Caps after WWI were broader and had larger visor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sajkaca Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 very nice cap and in very good condition, although with the chin strap it indicates that it is 1918-1922 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
