Yugoslavia Tito's medals and orders

[Bryan]

Tito had a lot of medals!

Any idea where they are all today?

Here is an exhaustiv list from his medals and orders.

Tito's medals and orders

Can you also tell me what is the last big order he is wearing?

The picture is from the book Tito Partija.

[Anatoly13]

Is any sign near this photo in the book?

This very big star seems as the award from some Tito's arabian friends...

Christian

Hello dear collecting friends

sorry for the delay in answering, I was sunbathing in Tunisia and swimming in the sea, air temp 30 water 29. It was marvelous

OK that was definitely

back to serious things

This is not an Arabic order this is a YU order, or better told it's not an order it's a sign. It's called the Marshalls sign (marsalov znak). It was made only for Tito. And the first example was entirely made of pure gold it was weighting 1.5 kg and it was ruining his uniforms in the way that they made another one which was hollow and far lighter in weight. Its one of the most beautiful phaleristic works ever made IMHO. I should have a pic somewhere but will have to look ......

and post.

Thank You, Milan!

You're right of course!

[Christian Zulus]

Thank You, Milan!

You're right of course!

Great - that YU-Marshal-Star is something like the Soviet "Order of Victory" in double-super-king-size .

Has anybody some close-up pics of that gem ?

Best regards

Christian

[Drugo]

I'd like to comment that picture, but it's better to not...

Does anybody know where is that sign now?

Gentlemen,

at least one of the two items should be in Belgrade, in that museum: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=16820 .

But who knows, maybe Tito's Soviet "Order of Victory", Suvorov 1cl, "Order of Freedom" + the 2 YU-Marshal-Stars are already at some flats our houses of Tito's children or grand-children in Zagreb - or a collector in Moscow is happy about having Tito's orders ....

According to old YU-Law, Tito's order might be his private property - and the property of his heirs .

It might be, that the museum in Belgrade shows only copies of Tito's awards .

Best regards

Wow!!

Thanks!

[Bryan]

It sometime pays to be curious! Thank you very much Milan! Amazing order!

[Christian Zulus]

Dear Milian

many thanks - really breathtaking

I think, that communist YU is really a great #3 - behind CCCP & Mongolia - in producing outstanding orders, medals and badges .

Best regards

Christian

I heard a rumor (for what it is worth) that during the NATO bombing Milosjevic moved into the former Tito residence (assuming it would not be bombed) and that his son (Marko) found the orders (and weapons) of Tito in the cellar and took them. Anybody who is friends with the Milosjevic family who can verify?

All of his orders and medals, with exception of the Austro-Hungarian Silver Bravery Medal, are presently in Belgrade, in Museum of History of Yugoslavia. Collar of St. Olav's Order was exhibited in 2009 within a temporary exhibition of twelve strange objects from Tito's treasury that had to do something with notion of death! That was a rather complicated theme, and I would not go into details, but among other items Stalin's gold-and-diamonds saber was also displayed.

My opinion is that it is just a rumor.

Thanks Dragomir. I was in this museum (the mausoleum branch) the day before yesterday, and saw no orders or medals aside from a Tito uniform with miniatures (pics to follow). This morning I went to the branch on Trg Nikole Pasica... but was turned back because the museum was closed (as in, closed down for renovations). Have you actually seen his medals?
