Laurence Strong Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Thanks for the info Christophe, are these really that hard to find? Here's the reverse
Christophe Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Laurence,I have not seen a lot of them in such good condition.Cheers.Ch.
Laurence Strong Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Thanks Christophe@SovietIs there a way of telling?
Bryan Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Mmmh, I now think that you have the Yougoslavian version. I will have to say the opposite of Christophe. This one is easy to find. I bought the 2 versions this weekend. So I don't have them in my possession right now. Here are the pictures. You will see the differences.This one was made by the Soviet. It is suppose to be a WWII issued medal.
Bryan Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) This one is the common Yugoslavian made Medal of Bravery. Look the details are really different. The soldier and his riffle for example. Hope this helps. Edited October 25, 2005 by Soviet
Laurence Strong Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Thanks for that comparison Soviet. I did not think that they would be an uncommon badge.
Christophe Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 OK. I did not know these were so easy to find... At least, easier than I thought... I have not been lucky, as I did not see a lot of them until now. But, the fact I do not collect Yugoslavian awards may be a reason why I did not pay attention enough to them...Ch.
JBFloyd Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 I thought the Russian-made version had "Za Hrabrost" in the wreath below a very small star; while the Yugosalvian-made version had a large star in the center and "Za Hrabrost" above that. Or were both types made in both locations?
Laurence Strong Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) This one came in the mail today, I was begining to wonder if it had got lost in the mail Military bravery medal Ser#139105 Edited October 26, 2005 by Laurence Strong
Bryan Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Hello Laurence, nice order of Bravery you have.I have just received today my medals of Bravery. You can see the diffence now.
Laurence Strong Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Salut Soviet Thanks for the comparison, so the different writing is a good indicator of where the medal was made.What are the chances of tracing down the serial # on the Bravery Medal? Does anyone know how many were awarded?
Bryan Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 (edited) I don't know how much were awarded yet, but I just ordered a small reference book about Yugoslavian medals & orders. I let you know when I'll received it. The book is called : YUGOSLAVIA - Army Insignia and Decorations 1918-1990It is suppose to be a basic reference book with only black & white pictures. Although, I guess this is the only english book on Yugoslavian awards. Edited October 28, 2005 by Soviet
