Yugoslavia - Order of Merits for the People III
Shots Dave replied to paja's topic in Southern European & Balkan States

Here are two different versions of the medal and a numbered badge. As far as I am aware the first version of the medal has a "dot" in the letter theta on the reverse, whilst the second has a "dash". The badge has a similar design to the medal,although the image and lettering are both on the front of the badge. A slight difference you can see is that although the medal has the years 1941-1945 the badge is dated 1941-1944.As it is also numbered on the back I wondered If any one has any information they could share on it's origin/awarding etc please? I realise there are also different manufacturers of the medal with slight differences in the flag for example, if anyone has any of these, please add them to the thread.

Thanks Pat, I look forward to seeing the photograph. Dave -
Hi Gents Here are 2 different versions of the medal, the left with Paris Mint markings on the reverse. Can anyone please provide any information on the origins of the smaller version on the left please? I have seen versions like this marked with metal on the top of the suspension but this does not appear to have any markings (that I have noticed). Cheers Dave

Hi Guys Here is quite a simple bar I recently acquired. I would be interested in your opinions on it please with regards manufacturer,age,authenticity etc. I believe it consists of: Navy Presidential Unit Citation with star(I wanted it to be blue but don't think it is) Navy good conduct medal with 3 stars American Defense Service Medal with A device(as discussed previously on this thread) It has SER 204 on the reverse of the bar The ribbons appear to be named inside the bar-not seen this before. Cheers Dave

No sorry, not really my field of knowledge. From what I can see online, I cant see an obvious match, hopefully someone else will be able to assist you. There is a previous discussion here:

Hi Guys This could be in the wrong section I am afraid, but the medal housed in the box when I received it was a Czech Military Medal of Merit 2nd class. I do not think it the right case for this medal so wondered if anyone could suggest which country it is from and what medal should be housed in it please. Cheers Dave

Thank you Giorgos for adding your images and providing some very useful information. Dave -

I recently saw this 1939-1945 Overseas Service medal with an attached brooch made by Spink & Son. I can not guarantee it's authenticity but believe Spink & Son did make medals for Bahawalpur so it could be original. I am sure someone will put me right if I am mistaken.

Hi Gents I have recently acquired the attached FFI badges which have been numbered. Does anyone happen to know if you can find the name of the recipients of either please ? I ask because I received the medals in the picture with the one badge, and would like to know if they belonged to the same Veteran, it being very possible that he served in WW1 and then became part of the Resistance in WW2. Thanks in anticipation Dave
