Lotto n. 909 - Yugoslavia. AE Circular metal seal matrix featuring a crowned double-headed eagle with a heraldic shield on its breast, surrounded by a Cyrillic inscription engraved in mirror image. The inscription identifies the Machine Gun Company of the 4th Battalion, 84th Infantry Regiment. AE. 62.58 g. 41 mm. VF. KINGDOM OF SERBIA – ROYAL SERBIAN ARMY 8th Active Infantry Regiment “Knjaz Aleksandar” Machine-Gun Company, 4th Battalion – Official Seal Matrix Date: c. 1914–1918 Country: Kingdom of Serbia Authority: Royal Serbian Army Formation: Danube Division Unit: 8th Active Infantry Regiment “Knjaz Aleksandar” Sub-unit: Machine-Gun Company, 4th Battalion Object type: Official military seal matrix Category: Militaria / Exonumia / Sigillography Metal: Copper alloy, probably brass or bronze Shape: Circular Diameter: Not recorded Weight: Not recorded Seal Face Circular engraved military seal matrix with a prominent beaded outer border. At the centre is the Royal Serbian coat of arms, consisting of the crowned double-headed eagle bearing the Serbian shield upon its breast. The shield displays the traditional Serbian cross with four firesteels. Ornamental fleurs-de-lis appear below the eagle. The surrounding military inscription is engraved in mirror image, as required for a seal matrix, so that the lettering appears correctly when impressed onto a document. Inscription When horizontally reversed, the inscription reads: МИТРАЉЕСКА ЧЕТА 4. БАТАЉОНА ★ 8. А. ПЕШАД. ПУКА ★ Expanded form: Митраљеска чета 4. батаљона 8. активног пешадијског пука Transliteration: Mitraljeska četa 4. bataljona 8. aktivnog pešadijskog puka English translation: “Machine-Gun Company of the 4th Battalion, 8th Active Infantry Regiment.” The abbreviation “А.” is interpreted as “активног” (aktivnog – “Active”), in accordance with contemporary Serbian military terminology. Unit Identification The 8th Infantry Regiment “Knjaz Aleksandar” belonged to the Serbian Army’s Danube Division and was associated with Požarevac. The regiment is documented in Serbian military records during the Balkan Wars and the First World War. A 4th Battalion of the regiment is likewise recorded during the First World War. The presence of a specifically designated machine-gun company indicates that the seal was used for the administrative business of this specialist combat sub-unit. Historical Context Machine guns became increasingly important within the Serbian infantry during the Balkan Wars and especially during the First World War. Dedicated machine-gun formations were responsible for operating the army’s heavy automatic weapons and were administratively attached to infantry battalions and regiments. This seal would have been used to authenticate official orders, reports, correspondence, personnel documents, inventories and other military paperwork produced by the company command. The use of the royal Serbian double-headed eagle and the terminology of an “Active Infantry Regiment” place the object within the institutional framework of the Kingdom of Serbia, making a First World War date the most probable. Heraldry Central device: Crowned Serbian double-headed eagle Breast shield: Serbian cross with four firesteels Lower ornaments: Fleurs-de-lis Outer border: Beaded Legend: Serbian Cyrillic, mirror-engraved Condition Considerable evidence of official use, including surface wear, scratches, edge knocks and areas of patination. The central heraldic device remains well defined and the complete inscription is legible when viewed in reverse. The wear pattern is consistent with a functional administrative seal rather than a commemorative or decorative object. Classification Kingdom of Serbia – Royal Serbian Army – Danube Division – 8th Active Infantry Regiment “Knjaz Aleksandar” – 4th Battalion – Machine-Gun Company – Official Military Seal Matrix – c. 1914–1918. Rarity Rare. Official seal matrices attributable to a specific Serbian Army regiment, battalion and specialist company are considerably scarcer than ordinary military badges, medals and insignia. The complete identification of the unit substantially increases the historical and collecting interest of the piece. Attribution Attribution: Strong. The unit designation is directly readable from the mirror-engraved Cyrillic inscription. The precise year of manufacture cannot be established from the seal face alone; therefore, the proposed c. 1914–1918 dating should be regarded as provisional pending examination of the reverse, mounting system and any maker’s marks.
