orden_master Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Hello Stefan Hello Christianthe medal was instituted in 1955 as the text says for "merits in fullfilling the duty and response which helps to establish friendly relationship in between the Federative National Republik Jugoslavia and other states"As the name of the Republich changed in 1963 so the inscription on the medal changed too and it from then on says "Socialist Federative Republic Jugoslavia".The medal was awarded from the beginning up to 1985 only 845 times mostly to administrativ-technical personel of foreign delegations visiting the countryYour variant (badly for you) is the SFRJ version thus post 1963, the FNRJ is VERY VERY rare and hard to find, the price is also almost 10 times higher thus in the 400-500 EUR region.The medals have been made of tombac and then silvered and was made in Zagrb by IKOM.Best regardsMilanChristian, as always with Yugoslav medals - nur sp?rliche Informationen!

Explorer Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Truly a very rare medal and definitly a great addition to your collection. I assume the case itself is also quite rare. Anyway last one I saw was sold only for 65 euros on a auction and I had a chance to buy one a year or so ago for about 150 euros. Unfortunetly I don't know the difference between FNRJ and SFRJ types. Can someone post a picture??? Explorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlodzimierz Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Milan,thank you Milan, I was on your homepage today - respect.I thought you are collecting only Kingdom. I hope that it's original and not a fake. What do think about conditions of this medal?Do you know how many SFRJ and FNRJ Medals exists or where could we get informations?Waldemar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orden_master Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Hi WaldemarThanks for the nice words about my collection !Looking at the pictures from ebay I would say that it is a perfect original medal, for being 100% sure I would have to take it in my hands. Yes I switched to Kingdom only after I had a almost complete "communistic" collection, I was missing only the order of freedom and 2 or 3 varieties of the other orders otherwise I WAS complete, most of them boxed and some documents. About 2 years ago I have sold the complete lot. I was looking at all my documentation I had with me at home and could not find anything else than the number of all contributed orders. There could be one more book which I have in my office where maybe it could have some details of the pre 63 period. I will be back in my office by tuesday and will have a look then.regardsMilanPS joining a picture from my former collectionMilan,thank you Milan, I was on your homepage today - respect.I thought you are collecting only Kingdom.
