Bryan,Cyrillic letters are native letters in Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro and parts of Bosnia-Herzegovina (republic's of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia).In Yugoslavia Cyrillic and Latin letters were equal in public usage.So, they are not Soviet inscriptions.

I would never call Cyrillic letters Soviet inscriptions. I was just trying to explain "order of victory" that those letters are called Cyrillic.

Gordon Craig Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Anatoly,I finally buy one of these medals and now you tell me I need three more! Not fair.Bryan,One of your posts shows the ribbon bar device and the others don't. My cased medal did not come with a ribbon bar device so I suppose that one of yours did and the others didn't. Is there a place for the ribbon bar device in the case for the one that shows the ribbon bar device with it? Do you know why some come with the ribbon bar device and some don't?Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 There is no real place for the ribbon bar device in the case. I guess some might have been lost with the time. My guess is that these were all awarded with the ribbon bar, but this is only a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Bryan,Sorry but that doesn't seem reasonable. Why would they recess the bottom of the case for the medal and not the ribbon bar? Are there awards that do have the ribbon bar device in the case with the bottom of the case recessed for it to fit into?Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Bryan,In rereading my last post I feel that I owe you an appology. For a beginner in studying Jugoslav medals I sound a little strident. When I ask for help I should accept it without questing it. At least until I know more about what I am talking about. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my previous questions.Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlodzimierz Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I finally buy one of these medals and now you tell me I need three more! Not fair.Gordon,there is another variation of this order. The word "ZASLUGE" was changed to "ZASLUGA" in some later manufactured medals. I haven't seen this variation, I can even tell you the type of used letter: latin or cyrilic. It would be intersting to see this variation.waldemar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 waldemar,Thanks for the info. Always nice to know how many variations are out there.Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatoly13 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Waldemar!Seems that nobody see this " ZASLUGA" variant.May be another legend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Don't worry Gordon. I haven't seen anything rude in your post. I also don't know the real answer, but the only thing I can say is that all my cased examples from this medal do not have any recess place for the ribbon bars. It seems there is no place allowed for them. Only the big cased orders seem to have a place allowed for the ribbon bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
