obi007,

Interesting badge and with a low number.  Probably not many of them made.

Oderane appears as Gehautete in German . well in English it is Flayed .

Not Royal Yugoslav because no crown on top,Not Titoist Yugoslavia because no Red star on top. certainly Diver badge, Laurel Leaves and not oak leaves ,

Happy New Year to all ! Happy and moreover Healthy !

It's not ODERANE it's ODBRANE. The inscription translates to Inspectorate of Defence. Judging by the manufacturer, this piece is a post socialist Yugoslavia piece, so a modern one. I don't know anything about it though.

Thanks I Think i need a visit the opticians. For a modern piece however, it is better quality than the usual rubbish being manufactured.

The unit is a part of Serbian Ministry of Defence. They consist mostly of high ranking officers, hence the insignia on the badge des not make lot of sense- look more operational (e.g. special forces).The badge is possibly a trial piece by manufacturer "Feros". They have created some very attractive pieces for various government departments- I am sure they used to manufacture all Serbian police and Army badges. As far as I know they don't operate anymore. Be a bit skeptical about this ebay seller though...there's some weird stuff he has for sale.
