pmargulies Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 and reverse:I could never quite figure out what the criteria was for these... I picked up one on my last day in Belgrade. They were fairly scarce on the Belgrade Militaria circuit. Mine is a bit loose as it is a multi-piece construction badge. Mine is also a three digit serial numbered piece, but unfortunately, like all of my things, it is still packed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Zulus Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Gentlemen,showing IKOM-ZAGREB at the screw-plate, the item HAS to be from YU .Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drugo Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 That is from Yu that's sure...Look at the three cyrillic letters "NFJ". They should stand for Narodna federativna Jugoslavija (Popular Federativ Yugoslavia). If this is true, we can even start dating the badge before 1963, the date in which the official name was changed in Socijalisticka Federativna Jugoslavija (Socialist Federativ Yugoslavia).Regards,Filip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orden_master Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hi folksback on the surfing line again ! Yes you are right, this is definitely a Yugoslavian "award". And Drugo is right with his date conclusion. This "order" is a non state order which was given in special occasions for public worker building up the countrys infrastructure like railwais , streets and industry.The inscription on the lower side is saying " for dedicated work" or "for self-sacrifice work", I had to look up the translation and can not decide myself which one to be the better one.For the awarding criteria I have to pass, tomorrow I will look in my library if I have something about it.Best regardsMilan That is from Yu that's sure...Look at the three cyrillic letters "NFJ".

Christian Zulus Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Dear Milan,many thanks for your expertise .Are there many other non-state orders, medals and awards from former Yugoslavia ?Did the YU-Republics also had their own award-system ?Best regards ChristianBTW: I shall tell you nice greetings from my old friend Darko Vasiljevic (Munich/Beograd) .Hi folksback on the surfing line again !

After the WWII the name of Yugoslavia was: Federativna Narodna Republika Jugoslavija or Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia.I think that letters stand for Narodni Front Jugoslavije of People's Front of Yugoslavia.

Drugo Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Sasa, you're probably right. But I couldn't find ant different meaning, that's why I thought what I said earlier... In your case, does it change something speaking about the date of issue? Where was the "Narodni Front Jugoslavije" expression used?Thank you,Filip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SasaYU Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 (edited) Narodni front or: People's front was democratic association of citizens on voluntary basis in Yugoslavia. Peoples front has it's beginning in 1935. as a union of the democratic forces against fascist forces that were growing at that time. In WWII Peoples front in Yugoslavia was transformed in Narodnooslobodilacki front or: National liberation front with the task of uniting all antifascist forces in one union against fascism. After the WWII, People's front changes his name in: Narodni front Jugoslavije or: People's front of Yugoslavia and his task was rebuilding of the Yugoslavia which was devastated during the war. In february 1953. People's front of Yugoslavia is transformed in Socijalisticki savez radnog naroda Jugoslavija or: Socialist union of working people of Yugoslavia. So, I think that order is dated 1945 ? 1953. Edited June 30, 2007 by SasaYU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Zulus Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Dear Sasa,many thanks for your great expertise .There had been also some other countries in Europe with a strong "People's Front"-movement from the 1930s to the 1950s .Best regards ChristianNarodni front or: People's front was democratic association of citizens on voluntary basis in Yugoslavia.

Drugo Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Sasa, hvala ti puno! So, the NFJ was the organization that coordinated the big works of reconstruction after the war? Were maybe the Students' work Brigades part of this project? I'm interested in this aspect because my grandmother took part in one of those, in order to be able to complete her studies at university (as many others at that time...).Regards,Filip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlodzimierz Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 After the WWII eight of the parties formed before the war entered the coalition with the Communists and founded the People's Front of Yugoslavia (Narodni front Jugoslavije). This Order stick somehow to the very early stage after WWII. This three letter at bottom what does it mean?National Federation of Yugoslavia (Narodnaja Federacja Jugislavije)?Was this Order issued by People's Front of Yugoslavia? By political Movement headed by Tito?Thank you Luka for your expertise. best regardsWlodzimierz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
