Radmilo,

Especially like the award documents which in many cases are rarer than the awards.

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

Thank you for sharing, Paja.

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 Yugoslav Crown 1st Class (Huguenin), 1930
Unfortunately the star is missing.

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.
