Sorry, the Orden Rada Sa Srebrnim Vencem are all in boxes lined in light blue.

The Orden Zasluge Za Narod Sa Srebrnom Zvezdom are lined in red.

The Medalia Za Vojne Zasluge is lined in white.

The Orden Narodne Armije Sa Srebrnom Zvezdom & Orden Zasluge Za Narod Sa Srebrnim Macevima boxes are lined with black velvet.

[File21]

See, this is why I asked.... I'm guessing this is like the last version of the medal, cause it's brand new...

But.... I got myself an older one numbered 7833....

[leigh kitchen]

I think I read on a thread in this forum that the horizontal pin versions were the later pattern - the one that I have in the dark blue box is a horizontal pin version.

None of my cases have the recess for the ribbon pin - I take it that's a feature of more recent productions?

[File21]

Searching the forum I found this case that Laurence Strong posted, it has the same lining and ribbon pin recess as mine....But the case is for a different order....?

[leigh kitchen]

Looking at one of your cases, I was wondering if it was designed to take different awards - & it looks like the in Laurence's would would take a screw back as well as a horizontal pin fitting, same as one of mine.

[Ed_Haynes]

Talking boxes . . . the few I have.

All are happily filled.

1 / 2

3 / 4

1- Single vertical pin, "ZNB-KOVNICA" has ""III" near lower clasp but unnumbered. Light blue interior.

2- Single vertical pin, "ZNB-KOVNICA" blank reverse. Very light blue interior.

3- Horizontal double pin, blank reverse. Extremely light blue interior.

4- Single vertical pin, "ZNB-KOVNICA" blank reverse. Extremely light blue interior.

[Ed_Haynes]

Another.

Single vertical pin, "ZNB-KOVNICA" has ""II" at center but unnumbered. Dark blue-black interior.

[Ed_Haynes]

The one on the right (the maroon one) is new, the other (which has been shown before) is for comparison.

The maroon box is lined in rich maroon velvet (-like material). The badge is screwback, by "З. H. Б. КOВHИЦA", and a "III" aboive and is numbered "32898" at the bottom.

Someday, some way, we may figure these out?

[Bryan]

Ed that's very nice that you got an early cased Order of Merit for People III. Class. The inside of the case must be similar to that one.

[Ed_Haynes]

Identical, Soviet. But Order of Labor, isn't it?

Oh sorry, my error. I haven't read "Rada" on the box.

I thought it was the same like my Order of Merit for People III. Class. The box as the same construction inside of it. Sorry for the confusion.

[Ed_Haynes]

We have established a "generation" here??

[Ed_Haynes]

Another interesting pair?

The one on the left has been shown before (black clipped velvet interior, white upper lining, badge with forked pin marked "I") and the one on the right is new (same interior construction, badge with forked pin, plain reverse).

[Christian Zulus]

Gentlemen,

I have the feeling, that there are more variations of cases, than of the different orders and medals .

And I also guess, that Yugoslavia offered the most beautiful cases of all communist countries for their awards .

Well, and it might be, that rare cases will be more expensive, than the corresponding award .

Best regards

Christian
