No hallmark on it .

Thanks for infos. How was this trip organised? By ship? Because, if some 500 persons accompanied Tito on the trip, it would need several planes to transport them.

Jan

Thanks for infos. I was in contact with both sources, but unfortunaly it seems this medal was awarded in a small amount and producers are not interested. Has somebody knowledge how many was produced/awarded? I would appreciate, if you could give here some good pictures of originals. I have this medal more than 20 years, but who knows. The world is full of bastards, who forge the medals .

Hello,

few more informations. I have Mondvor 2nd class numbered 5 179 (handgraved) and 3rd class IKOM numbered 22 012 (stamped).

Partisan stars were awarded also to other nationalities. I have seen 1st class awarded to a Czechoslovak general after the war.

And reverse.

Hello friends,

I have this interesting medal, unfortunately with a wrong ribbon. Can somebody help me to obtain a correct one?

Jan

Thanks for a help. I know the age of a medal and I dont hope to obtain an old ribbon. Can you tell me , where could I get a new one? Or can you help me to obtain it?

Regards

Hello David,

Czechoslovak governement has approved Victory medal in 1920. Czech own desing medals ( Laslo Official Type 2) were produced in 1922. Before this, governement has approved a wearing of Belgian model medals (Laslo Unofficial Type 1 and Type 2) , which were produced by several private companies. Two of producers, Alexander Leisek and Edward Riemer, marked their medals. These are quite common, if you wish I can obtain them for you. And of course, if you come to Prague it will be a pleasure to meet you personaly , to show you some medal shops, invite you for a lunch or a beer .

Hello guys,

I have following medal without a ribbon, which I am not able to obtaian. Can anybody help?

The price is EUR 58,29 without a postage. I shall ask them next week, if they are able to suply abroad. If not, I shall ask the author (friend of mine) how to organize it.

First volume (out of four) of detailed encyklopedia about Czechoslovak legion in Russia was published today. It contains some 700 quality pictures mostly never published before. The chapter about decorations is a result of 30 years of reaserch in military archives. Besides other it describes 200 orders and medals awarded to Czech legionaries by governements of 12 states. Also all uniforms and rank insignias during our "anabasis" in Russia. Unfortunaly the book is in Czech only.

Finaly first book about Czechoslovak (Slovak, Czech) airforce badges by Jiri Sehnal and Radek Palicka was published 3 weeks ago. It has 240 pages, ISBN 978-80-247-0 and contains more than 400 colour pictures with detailed english descriptions.

Hi,

I got it too, it is excelent. It brings the facts especially to those still using strange names like Galipoli Star, EiserneHalbmond etc.
