Problems of purchase mechanics have intervened. Grrr.Lovely. Edited March 27, 2008 by Ed_Haynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 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.

Jakov Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) 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.
