      Unfortunately I only know that he was born in modern day Croatia. My guess would be that he was born at Varaždin, Ludbreg or Koprivnica.

      Is this just another fantasy or it is really a unique piece? I'm wondering because I've seen some fakes being sold by this seller before. http://www.njuskalo.hr/militarija/jna-umanjenica-partizanska-spomenica-1941-zlato-14-k-rijetko-oglas-19973718

      I'm starting to think that seller is in a deal with ebay. Either that or ebay employees are uneducated on this matter considering the fact that it was recommended under militaria section.

Check out the other stuff from this seller, it's full of fakes. The saddest part is that ebay actually recommended it under the militaria section.

      Thanks!

      I don't think if it's possible to reach any info on his service but I would appreciate any help. His name was Mihajlo Jagodić. I only know he fought in the Battle of Cer, the first allied victory of the WWI. That means he was in the Second or Fifth Army. I also know he died in 1941. Killed by the Croatian Nazi collaborators Ustashas. I also got a picture of him with the two medals. [/img]

      Received it today. I was surprised it weighs more than the Yugo made one.

      When it comes to fake documents the best way to check it's authenticity is to look at the paper. The paper used here is cleary of modern production.

      I haven't seen anything like this. It's strange how the bullet got right through the middle of the medal.
    10. BalkanCollector
      Alright, thanks for the info. I got it for 5€ so it's not a big damage. Seems like lead to me...

      I got a strange looking wound badge today at a flea market so I'm wondering if it's real. The front looks alright to me. Reverse is rather strange. Closer look of the marking or something. It's thick which is also strange. Additional info: -it weighs 67 grams -4,5mm thick -dimensions: 33x40mm

      Thanks for the info!

      Does anybody know how many Russian types were made?
    14. BalkanCollector
      Yeah, this seller is from Maribor, Slovenia. Thanks for clearing this up.
    15. BalkanCollector
      Is this the real deal? http://www.njuskalo.hr/militarija/orden-narodnog-heroja-ruski-md-oglas-19869553 Either way this guy is asking way to much...

      I see this medal was inspired by SFRY's Medal for Merits.
    17. BalkanCollector
      Great topic! I couldn't find such a detailed information with photos about Serbian awards anywhere.
    18. BalkanCollector
      It looks like it came from the same production line in China like the one I posted.

      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. http://www.njuskalo.hr/militarija/fnrj-medalja-uspomena-put-indiju-burmu-oglas-19702924

      I have an Order of Labor III class from ZIN kovnica (number cca 8000) which is quite low but I've never seen anything like this one you posted. Thanks for expanding my knowledge on this matter.
    21. BalkanCollector
      Such an interesting and rare order jovanmara.
    22. BalkanCollector
      Such an awesome collection of uniforms! Funny thing is that this guy is wearing a Yugoslav Order for Bravery (and a Russian type if I'm not wrong).
    23. BalkanCollector
      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.

      Here's a photo of my great-great-grandfather in the KuK. The photo was taken in 1917. Medals: 60th Jubillee Kaiser Medal 1848-1908 and a Mobilization Cross of 1912/1913.

      Order of People's Hero currently for sale on eBay. Fake or not? Your opinions. http://www.ebay.com/itm/YUGOSLAVIAN-ORDER-OF-THE-PEOPLES-HERO-/252346291255?hash=item3ac102d437:g:sr4AAOSwXshWr1Pg
