Yugoslavia Medal for Military Virtue

[Drugo]

This is a present from my father, he found this at his home in Belgrade.

It's the so called Medal for Military Virtue (Medalja za vojničke vrline), it's not an expensive medal, but it's very nice, and heavily made. This one dates back to 1962.

Filip

No, it's not my dad. I asked him, he didn't even pay attention to the name, because it was together with another couple of documents of my grandfather, who is NOT this "G. Z. Manojlo"... He don't know who is this guy, even if he found the medal in a drawer.

Filip

You still need miniature and ribbon.

[Ulsterman]

Nice! very nice set.

[Drugo]

Slightly , but since this come from the same drawer, I'll post it here.

Distinguished Marksman Medal (Odličnom strelcu):

This is extremely common, more or less like the Bravery one, but I don't remember anyone to have posted it yet, so here it is...

Two award documents:

Military Merits III Class

And a very old (1947!) Medal for Merit to the Nation

Both of them awarded to my grandfather, but unfortunatelly I don't have the medals.

Regards,

Filip

Both of them awarded to my grandfather, but unfortunatelly I don't have the medals.

Dear Filip,

if you can check, wheater these specific medals had been numbered or not at that specific period of issue, you can take in the (historic) case of medals without s/n. any medal and put it to the document .

Earlier issued YU orders & medals (not the Partisan Stars!) are often unnumbered.

Best regards

Dear Christian,

unfortunatelly the Merit to the Nation is numbered (48447), but the other one is not.

I've got a Military Merit III class medal, complete with case and ribbon, it misses only the document, but it was awarded to my uncle, so I wouldn't like to put it together with my grandad's one. It would be easier if I didn't know to whom was the medal awarded... Complicated familiar issues...

Wow I whish I had a draw like that

Order of Victory

You know, Order, I found there also tons of notes from the inflation/sanctions period from 1993... "Milions" and "Bilions" of Dinars...

Regards,

Filip

I don't know other variants.

Moreover 1-st medal not available in catalogs.

May be our collegues from Yugoslavia tell us their opinions

I heard that this is test issue, first issue and issue for high rank officers but I'm not sure...

Ohers medals are not exspensive 40 - 60 usd in Russia.

Very nice Anatoly,

I thought that there where only 2 variations of this medal, before this threat.

Do you have informations about cases for the different variations?

Thank you for sharing.

[Anatoly13]

May be someone have other kinds of cases?
