Very nice for the beginning!

Wow, that was an answer! Thank You very much hunyadi, i couldn't suppose that the story about Hero of the HUPR is so interesting.

The first medal (or, the prototype) is very interesting to me. Hunyadi, are you sure that it is the prototipe exactly of the Hero of the HUPR, not of the Hero of the Socialist Labor, or some kind of after-Rákosi version of this order? Because the ribbon and design are the same, only Rákosi symbol is replaced with the Kádár coat of arms, and that was usual for many hungarian orders and medals after Rákosi's fall. Please, don't think that I say you are 100% wrong, I only guess - indeed, for me it is the first time I see this medal, and the literature I have doesn't describe this type, or prototype.

Very, very nice!! Congratulations!

Oooops, I haven't noticed that Sorry, Waldemar

Hvala, Luka! Well, I thought that it would be reeeealy great miracle if my order would be something very rare, but I was little bit confused when I read Waldemar's post.

Wow, I just saw that wlodzimierz wrote that the lowest known number of Partisan star III class, Mondvor, is 8139!!!! Is my star realy rarity? I'm sorry because I can't make better pictures, but there it is: It IS with number 3459, I did't mix "3" with "8", I'm 100% sure.

Hehe, You have right, these partisan stars are realy cute The mine is russian too, with the number 3459. I still haven't bought IKOM's, in this moment I collect cash for other things :D

This "order" was sold on Limundo, here is the link: http://www.limundo.com/aukcija-PROBNA-VERZ...ANJA-JNA-445794

Very ugly prototype of NOTHING

Josef has right, this is serbian medal for military virtues

Interesting badge, looks exactly like Alfred's http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=37746 And, it's fake, like Alfred's.....

Very nice and well preserved award group, gratul?lok, especialy for the ?prilis Negyedike ?rdemrend! :beer:

About the prices, I would reccomend to everyone the hungarian auction site, www.vatera.hu . There is the greatest offer and the best prices :cheers:

Wlodzimierz, I'm sorry but that theory is little bit wrong, because "Istv?n" could not be translated like "Ivan" Istv?n (HU) = Stephen (ENG) = Stevan (SR) = Stjepan (CRO) J?nos (HU) = John (ENG) = Jovan (SR) = Ivan (CRO)

Yeah, one of the most difficult languages on the world. No problem, we are here to help each other :beer:

Nice medal Ulsterman, "HŰS?G A N?PHEZ, HŰS?G A P?RTHOZ" means "Loyalty to people, loyalty to party (communist)".

Happy New Year, or BU?K to everyone!! :D

Thanks Gordon, I think I understand now :cheers:

Hello everybody! I need help from somebody who better know hungarian language than me The question is about K?zbiztons?gi ?rem, which have 3 variations - for police (rendőrs?g), for borderers (hat?rőrok) and for karhatalom. My question is - what was "karhatalom"? In book "Nagy magyar kit?ntet?sk?nyv" that is translated as "armed forces", but I understand it as "army", and to soldiers was given Szolg?lati ?rdem?rem, isn't it? So, what sort of service was "karhatalom"? Thanks! Előre is k?sz?n?m!

Nice collection for a begginer, especially interesting a mobilization-cross which is untypical from "buntmetal" (but of course, not fake). Congratulations!

Pair of my ribbons

Nice collection, it's real pleasure to see orders with boxes and in so good condition as yours

Nice medals, but not Austro-Hungarian. The first is German, the other is Hungarian.
