oamotme Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Gentlemen,Further to my cataloguing of my long forgotten Yugoslav collection - I detail below what I have. All of these were purchased during 1990-4 as a side line to my main focus on Arab awards and indeed were collecting dust. Prices where noted are in Canadian dollars when the C$ was substantially weaker than it is now. I have no idea what they are worth now but I suspect that as the bulk of these awards are commonplace that an insurance value would be most modest.Thanks for your interest - this particular site on the GMIC is quite a revelation - I have a lot to do to get up to speed on these awards - perhaps I should stick with Arabia!Kind regards,Owain (Listing originally posted as a spreashseet and subsequently amended)Awards of the Republic of Yugoslavia Award Grade / Type Cost ManufactureRibbon, etc.Order of Bravery 1st Type (No.5651) C$116 Soviet issue Pentangular ribbon & 2nd Type (No.11359) C$36 Pentangular ribbonPartisan Decoration1st Type C$86 Screwback with washer & 2nd Type (No.16537) C$151 IKOM Zagreb ScrewbackOrder of the Partisan Star (Number engraved/scratched) 3rd Class (No.7183) STOLPNJE Screwback - bronze & lettering in cyrrillic script - possibly incorrect screwOrder of National Merit 3rd Class (No.80345) IKOM Zagreb ScrewbackOrder of Brotherhood & Unity 2nd Class (No.57656) IKOM Zagreb Screwback - 5 flamesOrder of Labour (Work) 1st Class (No.1217) C$75 IKOM Zagreb Screwback - 2 screws & 2nd Class ZNB-KOVNICA Pin back & 3rd Class ZNB-KOVNICA Pin backOrder of the People's Army 3rd Class Pin backOrder of Military Merit 3rd Class Pin backMedal of Bravery 1st Type C$91 Soviet issue Pentangular ribbon & 2nd Type C$27 Pentangular ribbonMedal of National Merit Bronze C$12 Pentangular ribbonMedal of Labour (Work) Bronze C$25 Pentangular ribbonMedal of Military Merit Bronze C$20 Triangular ribbonMedal of Distinguished Service Bronze C$12 Triangular ribbon1941-45 War Medal Silvered Small horizontal ribbon1951 10th Army Anniversary Bnze/Gilt C$31 Triangular ribbon1961 20th Army Anniversary Bnze/Gilt C$11 Triangular ribbon1971 30th Army Anniversary Bnze/Gilt C$21 Triangular ribbon1981 40th Army Anniversary Bnze/Gilt C$15 Triangular ribbon1991 50th Army Anniversary Bnze/Gilt C$31 Triangular ribbonReservists Medal Bronze C$16 No ribbon1975 30th Anniversary of 1945 Victory Bronze C$10 Triangular ribbon1945-6 Dunav Bridge Medal Bronze/gilt C$201 Screwback to vertical ribbon (green-black-green possibly incorrect ribbon) - screwback lettering in cyrillic scriptMarksman / Shooting Medal Gilt Triangular ribbonPohoroja Partisan Hospital Medal Enamel brooch ribbonYugoslavia Serbia Red Cross 1st Class Gilt ZIN-KOVNICA Horizontal brooch susp. & 2nd Class Silvered ZIN-KOVNICA Horizontal brooch susp.Yugoslavia Slovenia Partisan Medal Bronze (No.2895) Horizontal brooch susp.Yugoslavia 1988 Serbia 70th Anniv. of WW1Gilt Triangular ribbon Edited May 23, 2008 by oamotme
oamotme Posted May 23, 2008 Author Posted May 23, 2008 As requested by Explorer I attach image of Solvenia Partisan Medal - reverse is blank other than the number 2895.Owain
oamotme Posted May 23, 2008 Author Posted May 23, 2008 I also attach image of the obverse of the Dunav Bridge Medal. I think the suspension is correct but not sure. The ribbon is incorrect and I believe is the Soviet Liberation of Belgrade ribbon. The reverse of the 'nut' has * E (Reversed). H. b. * and KOVNICA in cyrillic script. Owain
Explorer Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Thanks for posting these. I'd say the ribbon is the correct one and like you said probably a soviet version. I have this medal but unfortunatly with wrong ribbon.
oamotme Posted May 23, 2008 Author Posted May 23, 2008 Thanks Anatoly. It seems I have the correct suspension but the wrong ribbon and of course getting some ribbon will be a challenge!Owain
