Badge posted in first post is a copy and a very ugly one(lack of quality, wrong hinge setup, very bad made in general, doesn't look like anything it should) as I stated on a another thread. The one Ostin posted also look it could be wrong...but could use some better pics...(it looks like a wannabe German production wartime badge but I don't see the numbers on the back that should be there)

Definitely in wrong forum but...unfortunately that is a VERY UGLY copy :(

Hello,

Yes, that on the picture is "Partizanska spomenica", I am not so sure about the collar tab so I am going to let someone else help you with that...

Regards

Excellent work Waldemar, I cant wait the book to come out(is it soon? ) :jumping:

In a fact its the same photo , who knows... maybe Milan decided to sell his order ...but I rather think that somebody has stolen his photos(as they are not protected as they should be) and decided to have some "fun" :violent:

Now...thats a niceee set! Congrats :speechless1:

Here is the Croatian version

Well, maybe you could translate it better for us? :cheers:

"OZNA sve dozna" > "OZNA discovers everything" or "OZNA finds out everything"

"UDBA...sudba" that would sound something like this: "UDBA...(is final)destiny" =death

L.

I think it is difficult to find his photo, since he was very high official in UDBA.

BTW: you know: 'OZNA sve dosna' and I think 'UDBA xxx sudba'. I don't know how it was exactly.

You will find his photo very hard(maybe someday in some archive)..after all, OZNA and UDBA were notorious institutions, so it is logical that all related documents and photos are top secret and probably destroyed.

WOOOW, I am stunned, very nice grouping :speechless:

Sehr schoen Herr Befehl

Super komad, svaka cast ;-)

Nice catch man :cheers:

I have one version of 2nd class not shown there Waldemar, if you want I can send you pictures.

Never seen one...until now Interesting flaw in production...

Really? Is it going to be all like that and in english? I won?t sleep until I have it.

Regards,

Dolfek.

Well...I guess so. For details I recommend that you ask the author. :cheers:

First of all...congrats Waldemar for excellent job and effort on your book, we can see it is on a good way to be completed soon, it`s sure going to be a must have collectors guide

Can photos be a bit bigger ? Text is not readable.

You will be able to read it when the book is published :D

This 3rd class example has a low number 46. Does anyone have any information as to how many were issued?

Thanks

Hello Zhukov,

Nice order, congrats! But I am afraid that unfortunaly the number isnt so low...probably the rest of the serial number has been covered with the "pin"(it was converted from "screw nut" type)

I would say MODERN REPROS.

I know this thread is very old but...I have obtained new interesting information about this grouping i.e. about its owner Branimir(Branko) Radelic.

Branko Radelic

Political commissar(politicki komesar) of IV POS-a( IV Sea Sector of the NOVJ navy)- he was put on this function after November 1943., his assistant was Vlado Bagat(National Hero)...later on B. Radelic was set as political commisar for base in Italy.

This is a good start, but I hope I will "dig up" some more information.

I am planing to put an order for archival research about "Order of the Red Star" that was awarded to B. Radelic and hopefully find something interesting...

Stunning work Waldemar, I hope I will get to buy a signed copy of the book when it comes out :jumping:

:unsure:

Thank you, I am glad you like it...

By the way, as this cross has nothing to do with the area I collect I will probably put it on sale...would anyone be so kind to help me with its realistic value? :cheers:

um, what are its dimensions?

weight? is it magnetic?

Does it rattle within the frame? What does it smell like?

What does the frame taste like? (odd, I know, but one can taste silver).

mike's nailed it.

still would like dimensions.

You can see its dimensions on the first picture(it includes written measurements) (click on the picture to open bigger image!!!)

At this moment I don't have enough precise scale to weight it...

The cross IS magnetic.

There is a small rattle within the frame.

It has no smell...

I didn't taste it :cheeky:

Hello gents,

I have obtained this EK 2, it seems original, but what bothers me is its dimensions(as on following picture):

As this is not my area of interest, I would like to hear what do you experts think about this piece...

Here are more photos:

Thank you all in advance!
