I have a number of similar insignia, including your one with the missing star - I think the star's missing from mine too.
I have a few orders and medals, about a dozen "Yugo" helmets and quite a few caps, a respirator or two, some packs, map cases, entrenching tool, pair of boots, a variety of odds and ends.
I did have a few AK bayonets I was given but I was foolish enough to put them in a MFO box shipped by the British military (although I wasn't military) and they were confiscated en route as "contraband" along with Turkish antique yatagan bladed sword with remnants of gold inlay on the blade.
If only I'd put them in the hold luggage on my flight from Sarajevo.......
What looks like a WWI German steel helmet in this photo is in fact a WWI Serbian one, having two small holes at the front to enable a stamped copper Serbian eagle badge to be mounted on it. Badge and other fittings are now sadly long gone from this shell.

Thanks for your post. That's a part of what the forum is all about - getting members to reminisce over their collectables.

Incidentally, re the army badge with missing star: I have one as a fob chain. I believe it has letters JNA on the fface. Problem is that I can't find it anywhere. Will reappear eventually, and I'll post when it does

A "forage cap" star with what I think is the field cap star you're showing - star detached from its backing.
