Linasl Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Greetings all. I have just purchased an outstanding Serbian medal bar - please see the pictures below. I know the first three at left as the Order of the White Eagle, Order of St Sava, and the British Military Cross. It is the others I do not know. Any help you can give me to identify the rest would be greatly appreciated (I assume they are all Serbian). Thank you. Linas
paul wood Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 All Serbian, After the Military Cross, Milosh Obilich Medal "gold", Milosh Obilich Medal Silver, Albanian Retreat Medal 1915, Medal of Military Virtues, Serbo Turkish War 1912, Serbo Bulgarian War 1913, 1914-18 Commemorative.I am sure we have seen this group before.Paul
Linasl Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 Thanks Paul. I'm curious - where do you think you saw it before? After I pay the seller, am I going to get screwed and not receive it? Let me know. It is a lot of money. Thanks. Linas
paul wood Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I thought I had seen it on this site a few months ago (or at least a Serb group with a Military Cross).Paul
paul wood Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 It was posted 5 November 2012 in CMIC topic Serbia Kingdom medal Bar on Ebay (sorry no good at doing links). Not the first piece mentioned but a topic that evolved through postings. It is very nice and looks 100% kosherAt least I know that senile decay has not attacked my memory.Paul
Linasl Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 OK, thanks Paul. Linas PS: my memory is horrible!
paja Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Greetings Linas, A beautiful medal bar, our friend Emanuel posted pictures of it here: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/56056-serbia-kingdom-medal-bar-on-ebay/?p=517454 It can also be seen here among some pretty rare items (Posts #11, 13 and 14) http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/32324-serbia-rare-medal-for-bravery/ The bar was also on ebay for a long time... Paul already identified all of the decorations correctly. I beleive that both, the White Eagle and St. Sava, were made by Huguenin. Kind regards, Radmilo
Linasl Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 Hello Radmilo, Thanks for the input. Fascinating how this happened. But how? Linas
paja Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 You are welcome. How what happened? Could you please clarify that question? Radmilo
Linasl Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 Hello Radmilo, The 'how' is how did Emanuel come up with the photos? Did he own the piece before? Or WHO owned the piece before? I am just curious. Thanks. Linas
paja Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I really can't tell, I believe that he did, but he would be the right person to ask. Sometimes these medal bars change a lot of owners in a short period of time, I've seen that couple of times. Regards, Radmilo
