Greetings Daniel,

Nice Collection! First two pictures - badges from Royal era for shoulder boards, caps and cockades. Third picture - perhaps not related to Serbia except for maybe bomb - badges like that were also used for shoulder boards. As for the crowns I don't remember seeing those two big ones in the top row and one smaller bellow them in use in Serbia/Yugoslavia. Last picture - collar badges from Socialist era. Can I perhaps help you with something else?

The Crowns looks very Italian in nature (2 small ones) the other large ones with 5 points (3 in total) look non-European to me. I'll do some digging and see what they might be :)

During WW2 crowns as a part of the rank insignia were worn by senior officers of the Yugoslav volunteers of the Allied Forces. I am not sure how did those crowns looked like, I can't find more information in the literature, were they the same as the ones worn by the British or perhaps like the ones on your photos.

Example of a uniform like that can be seen here: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/57613-decorations-from-the-collections-of-the-serbian-museums/?p=545507

By the way there is an US uniform of the Yugoslav volunteer on ebay right now, but the crowns on it are different, one looks like British the other one similar to yours.

Also I am not sure what are the "stars" supposed to look like, the ones on that particular uniform are the same as the one used for generals and which were sewn onto sleeves.

I could be wrong but my guess is that officers used same stars as before...
