      The serial number of the order was hand written on the award document, probably a few seconds before a recipient was issued with the award itself so the number wasn't pre-determined. Example from my collection where you can clearly see that the number of the order was written by hand while everything else is not.

      I love the design with the infamous Reichstag photo. Thank you for detailed information Wat05!

      Thank you for your input! I honestly forgot that I ever made this topic since it's been over 3 years.
    6. BalkanCollector
      That is HUGE!!! Congratulations on your great addition. Documented groups like this are getting rare to find but the Partisan 1941 award document is extremely scarce. I've only seen one or two until now.

      You're welcome!

      All original. There's an overlap of IKOM and ZIN orders ranging from 70,000 to 82,000+ so you can see both makers' orders with similar ranges of numbers. As far as I've seen, ZIN types like the one you shared have this bigger screwplate in the beginning of the 70,000 range while they are eventually replaced with the smaller one when the numbers get closer to 80,000.

      I wouldn't say we went way off topic. Slightly yes but the admins here aren't gestapo so no wrath will be unleashed upon us I think new topic about literature and sources is a great idea.
    10. BalkanCollector
      Very true! I've been told that the IKOM's machines have been sold abroad during the plunder of a new "democratic" regime. My only guess is that your statement about feeding the fireplace is the most likely scenario when it comes to company's documentation and archive. The beginning of my sentence "I've been told" is a proof of the situation we are in regarding this matter.

      Thank you for the answer! It is unfortunately very common for people to just asume things so wrong or uncomplete information gets passed quickly.
    12. BalkanCollector
      Can you please share the source for this statement? I've never seen an IKOM Partisan Star 2nd class ever awarded.

      What Tito is wearing on his uniform is miniature awards bar.
    14. BalkanCollector
      Do you have pictures of those orders?
    15. BalkanCollector
      Soviets received Yugoslav orders for war merits so it's not impossible that the recipient of this particular order was Soviet.
