JBFloyd Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Help! I've identified this one in the past, but cannot now remember its proper name. Edited March 28, 2013 by JBFloyd
922F Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Jeff, Often called Serbian/Yugoslav Order of St. Andrew or varients [for charitable work or for those wounded in war, or .....maybe for a contribution of money for good works]. Most sources say unofficial but 'tolerated' by former royalist govts, some say founded in exile by an organization under Peter II's 'patronage.' Ribbon usually like your example. Dragomir probably knows more accurate information. Edited March 28, 2013 by 922F
JBFloyd Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 Many thanks, EJ, That certainly makes sense, with a St. Andrew's cross in the design. I just couldn't connect that name.
Dragomir Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Pour mes amis! Once mentioned, Dragomir replies> This is the 2nd Class Cross of the Charitable Foundation of St. Andrew the First Called Apostle, founded in London exile during II WW by Yugoslavian Queen Marie (Dowager of Queen Aleksandar I and mother of King Peter II). The Cross was awarded in three classes (1st Class worn from necklet, 2nd Class as pictured, and 3rd Class, which is basically same, only not gilt). Dragomir
