I´m looking for decrets of the socialist period whith which orders will be established. For exanpe the decret No. 16 Prezidiul Marii Adunari Nationale from the 30.04.1948 (Order of Labor). Who can help? Richard

Hello Gordon, thank you for your efforts. I also know the order only in the same form pictured on the web-sites from you. Here is the reverse of the order:

Hello Gentleman, I have this Order from Benin. Knows somebody if is this the type of the Order of the Star of Benin from the communist period? Best regards Richard

Hello Gentleman, in the book about Mongolian Orders and Medals from Khuujii Urnukh is written, that the recipients of the Order of Sukhbaatar received a monthly stipend of 50 tugrugs, the recipients of the Order of Combat Valor a monthly stipend of 10 tugruds. Knows somebody something about a monthly stipend for the other Mongolian Orders and Medals? Have somebody the statues of the Orders and Medals of Mongolia in English? Best regards Richard

Hello Paja, thank you for your answer. Yes, this book is it. I have already the book Odlikovanja Socijalisticke Federativne Republike Jugoslavije, but I must translate this sometimes. Ok, if there are no hallmarks on the order, that does not means that the order is not made out of silver, like as the Order of the National Merit. On the online forum “sammler.ru” can be read, that late badges of the 1st class of the Order of the Yugoslavian Flag were made of gilded bronze. That’s the reason why I asked. Have you an idea, which orders from the year 1980/81 are made out of tombac? I know, that all classes of the Order of the Republic, the Order of the People´s Army and the Order of the Military Merit since 1980/81 are made out of tombac. Best regards Richard

Hello Gentleman, I have some questions regarding the Order of the Yugoslavian Flag. I hope some of you can answer my questions. I have a book about Yugoslavian Orders, but the book is written in the Russian language. I already translated some passages about the Order of the Yugoslavian Flag by using an online translator. According to this book most orders were made only silvered and gilded from the year 1980/1981 on. This should also be the case for the Order of the Yugoslavian Flag. There are some pictures from the first class of the order, they show this. My question is: are the orders of the classes 2nd to 5th also silvered or gilded too? If yes, were the orders of the 2nd and 3rd classes made in both forms (one with enamel flag and one with the flag with golden lines)? Moreover, can you please let me know, whether somebody knows something about the flag of the 1st class, shown in the silvered form?

The same medal like above in gold. AVS: RVS:
