Some new items came yesterday, from a small militaria fair in Croatia.

First, a wonderful and very rare boxed pair of full dress epaulettes for Austro-Hungarian navy. They even have a silk sleeves which were intended to protect them while being inside the box.

Also, a desk writing set came from another guy, with "K.u.K. Kriegsmarine" inscription. It's incomplete (missing the ink well), made by Berndorf from Alpaca (artificial silver). Great set, also, and the first one I've seen so far.

Also, I found a nice and well preserved pair of Royal Yugoslav Navy shoulder boards for a naval clerk. Rare pieces, forst time I got the chance to get something like this, so I am really happy.

And the sugar at the end, a Royal Yugoslav order of the White Eagle 5th class in original box. Beautiful piece in well preserved state I was looking for quite some time.

Shield is original, wartime piece.
Pin is studied and is the same as known originals. Many repros we see today
have some slight differences, and this one is different.

HSF in the same display was bought without any provenance, but is said to be from the Tirpitz wreck site. However, I can't be 100% sure, but I can't imagine another reason for it to loose the entire finish. Also, it's the same type as the ones found on the wreck site.
