    Commemorative medal 1941-1981


    Recommended Posts

    Bryan,

    It probably commemorates the 40th anniversary of the founding of the "Peoples Liberation Army" (Jugoslovenska Narodna Armija). Germany attacked Jugoslavia on the 6th April, 1941 and Tito, urging Jugoslavs to resist the Germans, assumed command of The Peoples Liberation Army on 4 July, 1941. The 825 hallmark would certainly suggest a silver medal as well as the amount of wear because of the high silver content. Nice loking medal.

    Regards,

    Gordon

    @ Gordon,

    People's Liberation Army is Jugoslovenska Narodna Armija.

    @ Bryan,

    This is not a official medal. Haven' seen it yet.

    SasYu,

    Thanks for the correction, I'll amend my reference. Would you please post a picture of the official medal comemorating the 40th anniversary of the People's Liberation Army. I have a reference that shows the ribbon for the 40th Anniversary medal but no picture of the medal.

    Regards,

    Gordon
