    Yours is later issue, Filip.

    I didn't find any info about that, but in my opinion and experience, from what I saw different times in different places, when they changed the medals from 5 to 6 torches, they also changed the boxes (as you see on Soviet's case there's a 5 torches coat of arms stamped).

    If I'm wrong please correct me... :speechless:

    Gentlemen,

    many thanks for sharing these pictures :cheers: .

    I appreciate very much the design of the order/medal of labour: Flower, woman, man & open book in the background. It's still a very "modern" design, I think :D .

    Best regards :beer:

    It's quite interesting that the Ex-Yugoslavia got the Russian style 5 sided suspensions and the Austro-Hungarian triangle ribbon style. A lot of influence from those 2 super powers.

    Dear Bryan,

    do you think, that this A-H triangle ribbon is correct :unsure: ?

    I assume, that the ribbon is somehow "home made" by a monarchistic-oriented comrade ;) .

    Christian, I guess it is not correct for this kind of medal. What I find interesting is that all the jubilee medals and few others have this kind of ribbon. So it has nothing to do with monarchist-oriented comrade. I guess it's just the tradition mixed with the Russian tradition with the 5 sided suspensions. Maybe all medals that first came from Moscow during WWII were with 5 sided suspensions and then when the IKOM initiated their own medals and design, they switched to the triangle style ribbon.

    I don't know if there is a real explanation for that, but keep in mind that both ribbon style did coexist in the Ex-Yugoslavia.

    Gents!

    It's normal for this medal.Not "home made".

    I call this "variant on triangle ribbon".

    Do they come from different periods of time or is it just a matter of individual taste?

    Gentlemen,

    a theory:

    Might it be possible, that in Slovenia & Croatia the (Austrian) triangle ribbon had been more common and in Serbia the (Russian) five sided suspension had been more common :unsure: ?

    Why medals on triangle ribbons are available on the markets so offen?

    :wacky:

    Maybe because they can be faked easily.?

    CHRISTIAN,

    there were no differences in issuing medals between republics of Yugoslavia.
