    It was granted as a commemorative for Tito's first visit to India. A lovely medal, and one I have been seeking. Problems of purchase mechanics have intervened. Grrr.

    Lovely. :love::beer:

Brother of my gradpa received it. As a officer on Titos yacht. Where can I find ome more information about the medal, this number of 1200 awarded, where it cones from. And have you ever seen one of these for sale, complete one, and which is the price, if it can be calculated (I am sorry but I ma not selling it, probalbly ever)

    It is "family" never ever sell! (Much as I would like one.) Value as a family piece: $1,000,000,000 or more?

    What is the family story behind it?

    I had the chance to meet Tito (briefly) on his (next?) 1974 trip to India.

    Really?? What did you think of him? Did you ask any medal questions?

    The family story behind the medal is this. The brother of my grandfather was a radio oprating officer on board the Titos yacht Galeb, and he went with him on his trip to India and Burma, I have some pictures from that trip, some of them Titos. But, it is a funny story because that same cousin of mine was also the radio operating officer onboard the yacht of the last Jugoslav prince and later king Paul II.as a officer in the Royal Yugoslav Navy, after the war broke out in Yugoslavia in 1941. he joind the newly formed Croatian navy, Indenpendent State of Croatia Navy,and served there untill 1945. Then he joined Yugoslav navy, he had quite an interesting life, and he was a seaman all his life, form as early as 1932. untill late 1960s. I am sad that he died long before I was born.

    Jakov,

    was there a document with the medal?

    I've never seen an award doc for this medal, I am curious if it ever existed...
