Thanks very much Frank, that has solved a mystery for me, the thread you sent was also very informative :cheers:

You have a nice selection there, thanks for sharing :)

Thanks for the info, that's very helpful :)

After closer examination you are quite correct, I did think it strange given the six torches. As you can see by the close up it's not too clear, looks like a 2 the second number being totally covered by the new pin assembly. Thanks for your help

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

I was told these were from Chechnya known as Chechnya Cross. Does anyone have any information on them please. Thanks Z No1 No 2

Yes, it is a wonderful area for collection :love:

What I love about these two items is that the owners cared for them enough to either modify or repair them. DE-NAZIFIED EK1 3 piece construction with blackened brass centre, as you can see the swastika appears to have been hammered out but you can just make out it's shape. No maker mark unfortunately. FIELD MODIFIED EK 1 The pin must have broken off at some time, I would like to believe in battle. It has been replaced with a makeshift screw mount that has been attached, a quality job in my opinion. Any comments observations gratefully received.

And the Military Merit

Alexandria United Arab Republic Pictured with President Gamal Abdel Nasser 2nd May 1966 and at the conference 3rd may 1966. The purpose of the talks were to discuss the increase in power of the non-aligned nations in world affairs. The talks took place at the Ras El Tin Palace.

I have a number of pins relating to Tito, I was wandering if anyone else has any in their collection?

Great pictures thanks for sharing :-)

The medal was instituted on 29 December 1951 to reward outstanding service in the armed forces and cancelled in 1991. I also have the case and ribbon for it any other information you could provide me with would be gratefully received :-)

This is a part of my Yugoslavia collection any comments or questions welcome :-)
