Yugoslavia Order of Merit for People

[paja]

When it comes to 3rd grade #73K numbers on the back side are different, larger than on the orders with lower numbers (under 70K).

Here's one example of order very close under 70K with smaller numbers and hallmark (I mentioned before that somewhere close to that number could be the border between wide and narrow nut type).

And here's one 70K with narrower nut, larger numbers and without hallmarks which to be honest is a little bit suspicious to me because circle on the back side made by the nut is wider than the nut itself.

Probably the same numbers were used on this ZIN with narrower nut.

Unfortunately I don't have more pictures of orders numbered 7XK for comparison.

Problem with the numbers is that even the same producer used different ones.

Interesting, I have not seen such сalligraphy of numbers on the ZIN,ЗНБ orders like on Your #69K.

You're welcome, thank you as well for new photos.

That #69K from my previous reply is not from my collection, I don't remember where I got that image from, and it's IKOM not ZIN

So you managed to find 2nd and 3rd class orders, same type and made by same producer with exact same number, what are the chances for that Very interesting indeed

My wide nut ZINs.

2nd class #1310 and 3rd classes #7657 & #19960
