Here’s what I got so far. I started by mostly collecting WW1 Crosses but soon crossed over to WW2 with alot of inspiration from the forum. It was also a DR EK2 that I purchased at a flöhmarkt that got me started collecting militaria.
Here is the one that started it all. It will always be a favorite. It is not marked so any comments on who they think its made by are more than welcome. Attachment 153245Attachment 153246
Gents, just recieved this cross/medal with a lot from Hamburg, Germany, made of buntmetal, 55mm x 55mm, and guilded (most of which has worn away) it is as the photo shows a "Maltese Cross" design with four lions in each corner, and a circular relief in the centre with the words " furchtlos und true" and what seems to be a stylised "F" thereon, has a double suspension ring, but no ribbon. I show the rear, which is semi-hollow and full oF glue !….the vendor described it as a "Bavarian" medal (on account of the lions, no doubt !) I dont think it is….. the motto is the pre-1918 "Wurttemburg" motto, however the WW1 motto was spelt as in old German, with spelling of "treu" as "trew", so this piece will be post WW1 or even post WW2 !…So, I suspect it to be a "Wurttemburg" veterans medal, can anyone confirm or I.D./shed light on this medal ? it may even not not have any military connection. Thanks in advance & Prost ! Steve.

This is not mine, but I’ve been given permission by a very good friend in Yugoslavia to show you all - here’s what he writes on it —
"I am two weeks ago purchased a very nice and above all super rare visor cap, pilot (senior officer, Major-Colonel) of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia following the occupation 1941st "Fled" to the service in the RAF. This is the second known surviving example of which is unknown. I hope that you will like it. I searched for it for more than 20 years. You can feel free to express to the forum. But you need a little to clarify the questions you will ask some members of forums.
Germany was carried out on April 6th 1941. the attack without a declaration of war by bombing Belgrade, and several other major cities. after demonstrations over the signing of Treaty between the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and Germany. Pact was signed on March 25, 1941, and demonstrations broke out on March 27, under the leadership of the commander of Air Force General Simovic, which is the part of the military coup took power and dismissed its former government.
Aviation is the only resisted the German attack and in particular the 6. which is fully equipped aircraft was the Messerschmitt Me 109, as the German as a future ally, only Yugoslavia has given the aircraft. The Germans have their fighters before the attack painted the front in yellow to make it easier to recognizing in air combat.
Our air force is fighting with all available aircraft, as long as they were. After that part of the aviation officer with the young King Peter II Karadjordjevic flew to England, and part of northern Africa, where they also joined the RAF. Given that the pilots flew in flying overalls, were made in England in new uniforms but the exact pattern and regulation of the Yugoslav army, but they were on the left sleeve bears the inscription "Yugoslavia" and the next flight sign of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia on the right side, worn by Flight RAF mark on the left.
hat, in short, because those uniforms are extremely rare. Very few pilots had survived the war, and almost none in return he brought with him a uniform. The first picture is with waits of our monarch Paul Karadjordjevic when signing pact and interesting is that Hitler was the only Yugoslav prince hosted an unusual admission, military parades and other ceremonies.
Below are pictures of King Peter II, the Air Force uniform in England, and Prince Paul it was the uncle.
And pictures of General Simovic with King Peter II.
