    This case was quite strange. While the most part of it was in a bright red color the lid had a dark almost brownish hue as it should be. Has anyone seen such a type?

    In posts #85 to #87 in this thread I illustrated the Partisan Star and certificate to Soviet Lieutenant Anatolii Ivanovich Akulshin. Just discovered that he was also awarded an Order of the Red Star by the Soviets.

    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.

    I saw quite a lot of 1st class stars in Bulgarian National museum of military history, unfortunately taking pictures is forbidden. I presume that the most of the Bulgarians received this order on the Syrmian Front where they fought together with Yugoslav and Soviet forces.

    Do you happen to know the names of those Bulgarians awarded with 1st class Partisan Star?

    Unfortunately nо, I'm not very familiar with Bulgarian generals and officers from that era so I forgot their names almost instantly :(

    I've been meaning to start a topic about some let's say strange Yugoslav Partisan Stars but this seemed like a better place for expressing my doubts.

    What do you think about this second class order?

    Those very shinny screw nuts always scare me, back side of the order is also strange - especially the number, could be bad picture but it seems like everything except the first digit is unreadable.

    I've been following discussion about this matter on various forums but I would also like to hear opinions of the participants in this topic.

    Thanks in advance.

    One more "shinny" piece, notice the big contrast in color between the edges of the star and the wreath around it. Looks like someone painted the wreath but missed couple of spots...

    Same thing here and one more (in my opinion) strange looking number.

    I've seen converted types before but not with that type of needle. You can see at least one more example in this topic here
    Based on the type of needle I'd say they were both converted in IKOM.
