Hi All

 I am a retired Pharmacist and Chemist in Sydney, and have just joined the GMIC, but have been a member of the British Medal Forum for many years.

I am a member of the OMRS and the OMSA, and collect  "interesting"  British and Australian medal groups. Anything from mid 1800's to ww2

I like multiple campaign groups and interesting combinations, such as  with a foreign award, coronation/jubilee, long service etc.

At the moment there are 2 items that I am looking for :

- ribbon for the King Haakon VII coronation medal of 1906 - to go with a British R.N. group

- a military Karageorge Star of Serbia, with swords, 2nd class in silver. This is the one awarded to NCO's and does not gave any enamelling.

The cross and crossed swords are  in silver with golden rays between the arms. This is also to complete a Royal Irish Fusiliers group

Any suggestions greatly appreciated
