Yugoslavia Order of Brotherhood and Unity 1 cl.

[Anatoly13]

I bought very rare one.

[Anatoly13]

Early variant with 2 rivets, polished reverse and small screw.

[Anatoly13]

But most rare is hallmark " HJ " !

[bolgarin]

"HJ" - what does it mean?

[Anatoly13]

THIS IS UNUSUAL (EXTREMELY RARE) SIGN HJ ON THE BACK OF THE ORDER. THIS IS SIGN "HRVATSKA-JUGOSLAVIJA". FOR MANY COLLECTORS IS KNOWN SIGN BK (BRACA KNAUS) OR GK (GRISBAH I KNAUS) ON THE EARLY TYPES OF YU ORDERS, BUT A FEW KNOW SIGN HJ.

Source of information?

Anatoly,

Interesting information on markings. I'll have to go through my orders and check them again.

Was there a specific time frame when the small threaded post was used?

Regards,

Gordon
