    Staff-lapel-pin of Tito's yacht "Galeb"

    Gentlemen,

    Tito used a very large yacht, the "Galeb" (= seagull), for his journeys around the world. The ship is now on sale again: http://www.sybarites.org/2006/05/08/marsha...-auctioned-off/ and in a really bad condition :( .

    I got this - rather large - lapel pin from Branko Karakas, renowed YU-composer, conductor, JNA-colonel & personel director of music of the late Marshal Tito:

    He told me, that this was the lapel pin for the staff at Tito's yacht "Galeb".

    Best regards :beer:

    Christian

    BTW: I asked Branko which military orders - as a colonel - he got from Tito. He told me, that he received all the 3rd classes of most of them :D .

    3 unknown lapel pins from YU

    Gentlemen,

    these are 3 - for me - unknown lapel pins from Yugoslavia:

    Does anyone have an idea, what they might be :unsure: ?

    The first has something to do with an youth-organisation, I assume.

    Many thanks for your expertise in advance :cheers: .

    AMS is the "Auto Moto Savez" Srbije - Autocar union of Serbia.

    The 2nd one I can't really remember at the moment what SSOJ stands for, but I'm sure other people here will be able to answer you, it's nothing unusual....

    I never saw the 3rd one.

    Sorry

    -No, it's not the youth-club... I actually don't know what they mean with "podmladak" in this case. :(

    -Of course SSOJ is what Sasa said! Well done... And I never heard of the PPT.

    -No, I don't know how the auction ended.

    Regards,

    Don't know... Maybe you're right, and I'm wrong, and it's the youth-club... I'm considering it again from the pictures at the bottom of the AMSS homepage.

    I'm sure it will be an easy issue for those who live there... let's wait and see. :)

    Well, the ?AMTC http://www.oeamtc.at/ in Austria - the same organisation like AMSS in Serbia - has a youth club and special membership fees for young people, who are cyclist and so on.

    Laurence,

    first one is a pin of the Pionir organisation.

    In Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia children were entering a Pionir organisation at the start of their elementary school.

    Dear Sasa,

    many thanks for your expertise :cheers: .

    Is that the general & official lapel pin of the YU-Pionir-Organisation :unsure: ?

    I have several of these JNA-Lapel-Pins in my collection - also gilded with gold. Have there been different ranks according to the colour of the pin :unsure: ?
