Christian Zulus Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Hallo Christiangood observation, it is the same ribbon as for the old medal for military virtue. regardsMilanDear Milan,so, Yugoslavia during the (socialist) Milosevic-era didn't only use old dies, but also the old ribbons .In the pinned-section I made a posting about YU-Awards during the 4 Yugoslav-Wars of the 1990s: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtop...st&p=159521In my opinion the "phaleristic-language" of these orders and medals is still communist in style and appearance.Best regards ChristianBTW: Do you have any access to the statutes and regulations of Yugoslav Awards from 1943 to 2000 ?
Bryan Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 That is not my field of collecting, but I find that the design of this medal is very nice. I also like the kind of paper work that goes with the medal.
orden_master Posted September 13, 2007 Author Posted September 13, 2007 Good evening gentlemenyes you are absolutely right they used the dies and the ribbons, the only thing that lacked was the experince in craftmanship and manufactury of orders. See my next example how crude the work has be done. Medals from this time period are pretty OK (as seen). For the 43-2000 period should be no problem in having access to those papers, I will tell a friend of mine who arrived at Beograd just today to look what he can find.RegardsMilan Dear Milan,so, Yugoslavia during the (socialist) Milosevic-era didn't only use old dies, but also the old ribbons .In the pinned-section I made a posting about YU-Awards during the 4 Yugoslav-Wars of the 1990s: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtop...st&p=159521In my opinion the "phaleristic-language" of these orders and medals is still communist in style and appearance.Best regards ChristianBTW: Do you have any access to the statutes and regulations of Yugoslav Awards from 1943 to 2000 ?

orden_master Posted September 13, 2007 Author Posted September 13, 2007 and finally the awarding document for a colonel
Christian Zulus Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Dear Milan,the cases & rolls are very fine done and really beautiful, but the orders look like very bad fakes of the old communist ones .Why did they produce that bad quality - maybe they lost IKOM-Zagreb ?Best regards ChristianBTW: Does any of the numerous ex-YU-states still use the old IKOM-dies ?
orden_master Posted September 14, 2007 Author Posted September 14, 2007 Good evening ChristianI have absolutely the same opinion as you regarding the bad quality, it is a pitty to look at those orders, and I think that you have the right reason for this. Probably the dies have been saved from Zagreb but the know how of manufactury remained with the persons there. During the former periods all enamel work was done by IKOM in Belgrade was only the minting part of coins and medals.
