Thanks, if you had a piece missing the crown it would be well worth it for restoration purposes, otherwise maybe $100-200.

Thanks for the link. Military Museum has a 3rd class like that, it would be nice to see the crown on top of their order.

Radmilo,

You'd better E-mail them, I had that piece I would definitely be in touch with the seller of the crown.

That's a nice idea, unfortunately knowing our museums I don't think they'd be interested, I really doubt they have a budget for expenses like that...

Not that long ago there was also one 4th class order on ebay: Kingdom of Serbia Order of Milos The Great 4th Class 1898-1903. Very Rare.

The 4th class from ebay obviously ended up here: http://www.liverpoolmedals.com/Order-of-Milosh-the-Great-IVth-class-breast-badge.html

And the price jumped from 3.900 to 5995 GBP...

Seems typical of Les Rosenbaum's mark-ups, I suspect he will have it for quite along time.

Not bad, 50% profit.
By the way when was the last time anyone saw Miloš made by Jacob Leser? Leser examples seem to be extremely rare. This was the last one I noticed: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/11040910_order-of-milosh-the-great

Even in Car/Muhić book you can see just 2 examples, 3rd and 4th class. Has anyone ever seen Leser made breast star, if that producer even made them. When you take a look at that "Grand Cross Sash Badge" from above and it's "sash with Russian type gold ring" I wouldn't be surprised if someone took 3rd class and put it on some sash.

Gone within 24 hours after being posted here, coincidence? I don't believe in coincidences! 

[paul wood]

Radmilo, you should get commission from Les for helping him sell it.

Paul

[paja]

I wouldn't say no to that!
Dear seller, feel free to contact me for further information regarding the payment.

One more Miloš popped up at emedals, it can be found here.
"First Class by Karl Fleichhacker, comes with old original silk sash, without rosette."
That sash can't be original and it doesn't look old so how can they tell it's 1st class badge, why not 2nd or 3rd? They looks exactly the same...

I have now discovered that the mark up was somewhat less than I had thought as it was purchased from the E-bay purchaser who made a reasonable mark up itself. So unreserved apologies to Les and co,

Paul

"Serbian Order of Milos, breast star, in Silver, Gold and enamels, also set with genuine Diamonds, c. 1880"!
I just had to post this one on forum, photo found here (emedals' Instagram page).
Hopefully they'll put better images on emedals website
