    1. I've found the auction for that particular order on ebay, its title: "Order of the national hero - Yugoslavia - Original". LINK
    2. Did the seller claim the piece is authentic? Looks like just another fake to me, unfortunately . I think think even the ribbon is a copy...
    3. Cross Order of Queen Frederica, looks like silver grade. If I remember well someone posted photo of all grades of the order a few years ago.
    4. I think the price says enough. I consider only Soviet and IKOM type made out of gold authentic.
    5. Greetings and welcome to GMIC, Fourth medal in the first row is Medal for Bravery Miloš Obilić, the branch on the ribbon means that he was double recipient. First medal in the second row is Polish Order of Polonia Restituta 4th class.
    6. Dragomir, many thanks for the photos! Star of the Republic of Indonesia 2nd Class recipients: Aleksandar Ranković, Mijalko Todorović and Stane Pavlič
    7. Greetings and welcome to GMIC, You'll probably have better luck if you post your question in the "Central & Eastern European States" section.
    8. Tito being awarded with the Star of the Republic of Indonesia 1st Class (Bintang RI Adipurna) by president Soekarno. 16 June 1961
    9. Tito being awarded with the Sacred Star (Bintang Sakti) by president Soekarno. 7 April 1960
    10. Don't mention it, the last one is from some book about Đuro Pucar.
    11. You are welcome. Tito was indeed decorated with the Star of the Republic of Indonesia 1st class (Bintang RI Adipurna) in 1961 but also with the Sacred Star (Bintang Sakti) in 1960. I'll see if I can dig up some photos. BTW I have found more Indonesian recipients of the Yugoslav decorations, if you wish I can post their names.
    12. Tito being awarded with the Guerrilla Star (Bintang Gerilya) by president Soekarno who is wearing Yugoslav Grand Star. Same source, 28 December 1958
    13. Prime Minister Djuanda Kartawidjaja being awarded with the Yugoslav Flag 1st Class during Tito's visit to Indonesia in 1958. 24 December 1958 The rest of the photos from the Museum of Yugoslav History website, perhaps members of Kartawidjaja's cabinet? It seems like they all received Yugoslav Flag 1st class. Like I said before Rudež mentions that one Indonesian citizen received Yugoslav Star 1st class in 1958, that probably happened during the same visit.
    14. Possible recipients: Koča Popović, Dragoslav Marković, Vicko Krstulović and Vlajko Begović. Considering that it has 30 rubies we can cross Dragoslav Marković off the list. Also women in folk costumes are placed differently. Historical Archives of Belgrade
    15. This one belonged to Dragoslav Marković, awarded in 1980, 31 rubies! Historical Archives of Belgrade
    16. First one that belonged to fleet admiral Mamula is the one I mentioned before. Third and fifth one are interesting because of UNEF medal ribbon, third also because Yugo Flag 1st class! Fourth one is unusual because of Military Merits 1st class ribbon, the rest of the orders are 3rd class. I first though it might be Order for Merits in the Fields of Defense and Security 1st class but the blouse is from SFRY period, not FRY.
    17. President Soekarno being awarded with the Grand Yugoslavian Star during his visit to Yugoslavia in 1956. Photos found on the Museum of Yugoslav History website. 12 September 1956
    18. I know what you mean, I also never focused on the ribbon bars themselves, but over the years they somehow piled up Most of the ones I present are not very interesting, no higher decorations, so I can't wait to see some of those from your collection
    19. A First War Montenegrin Bravery Medal; French Manufacture "This medal is issued officially in silver only, this being possibly a trial piece." Medal instituted in 1841, trial piece from WW1 period? Jovićević wrote that king Nikola had an idea of passing the new law on decorations and because of that Bravery Medals were rarely awarded during Balkan Wars and WW1. But then again the new law was never introduced.
    20. I'd say that's Romanian "Virtutea Militara", on the last place, also Romanian, Cross of the Danube Crossing.
    21. I checked the statutes from 1957, 1973 and 1986 and all of them say the same thing, central part should be surrounded with 38 rubies yet almost all of the orders I saw so far have 30 or 31 rubies! Apart from that they weren't paying attention to placement of the golden part with women in folk costumes.
