    Images are too small to see the details but the box is certainly not original. Most of the collectors I know don't consider those bronze pieces or "museum copies" as original. My opinion is the same, if you want original order get MD or IKOM gold one.

    Thanks. I would really want to buy this order eventually in my collecting "career" but it's too expensive for now since I'm only 18 and been collecting for less than a year.

    You're welcome, orders like that one on ebay pop up quite often, I think there had been a few of them in this topic before.
    Best of luck with your new hobby, as they say all good things come to those who wait.

    Thanks for clarification, so the box is original but Albanian. I visited seller's website and noticed he has one more Yugoslav decorations in a box like that. Apart from that few orders are in wrong Yugoslav boxes.

    You can always try your luck, contact seller and offer your price. It works sometimes. The seller chose the "buy it now" option, which may suggest he is open to negotiations.

    Good luck!

    Just checked out other auctions, some of the ribbon bars from this lot don't look authentic to me.

    I've seen ribbon rolls and metal applications being sold separately so I guess it's possible someone bought them and started making ribbon bars from original material.

    I've seen those ribbon bars being sold on ebay before and I'm pretty sure that some of these are fake.

    Here's another one which looks like a reproduction to me. The ribbon looks like a reproduction and the medal looks too mint to be original as well as Tito being slightly different than from the original medal.

    There has been a lot of talk about fake India&Burma medals on a certain forum. 
    Here's another example some collectors presented as fake. Photos are from ebay.
    There's definitely a "new" feel to it...

    You're welcome! I didn't even notice that the seller is from Maribor, I saw that the ad is on Croatian website so I presumed the seller is from Croatia.
    Anyway definitely genuine piece made by the Soviets.
