    Golden Bravery Medal from 1885-86 - the rarest Serbian Bravery Medal!
    "Academy Badge", 1st type, so-called "Minerva", unfortunately coat of arms which should be above the central medallion is missing. Many of these badges have missing coat of arms or the crossed cannons.

    It's fortunate that most of the documents are saved as well, although I think they are in a private collection.
    I was so impressed with the exhibition that I'll probably try to visit it once more before it ends :)

    Megan, don't mention it. Unfortunately I take most of photos with mobile phone, I have some Olympus camera which is not so good indoors. Still, better this than nothing but I definitely have to get myself a decent camera.

    Order of the Star of Karađorđe 1st Class (Bertrand), 1933
    The star is missing, it's unusual to see Bertrand's order awarded in 1933. Must be an old stock, especially considering that Karađorđe Order 1st class was not awarded so often.
