orden_master Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hello dear collecting friendssorry 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 thingsThis 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.RegardsMilanIs any sign near this photo in the book?This very big star seems as the award from some Tito's arabian friends...

Christian Zulus Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drugo Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I'd like to comment that picture, but it's better to not... Does anybody know where is that sign now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new world Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Does anybody know where is that sign now?Two signs to be specific... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Zulus Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 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 Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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?
