Abstract

The collection of British decorations in the Collection of Decorations of the Croatian History Museum is not representative or numerous. It is understandable that there are no old insignia of chivalry because these had to be returned to the offices of the chivalric orders after the death of their bearer. The duplicates of such insignia rarely appear on sale, and are of immense value. Collectors of medium financial means may collect 20th century British medals of merit. These are usually World War I and II orders, civil and military service medals and jubilee memorial medals. Most British decorations in the Croatian History Museum are from the donation of Dr Veljko Malinar, which became part of the museum collection after his death in 1990. Only three decorations were acquired in 2002, by exchange with Zagreb collectors.
