Theodor Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Nice! The owner has some special rights: First, 50% off the tickets for Rail, automobile and water transport in the country. That's Ok. Second, free use of public transport within the town. Ok, too. But the third is really cool: free use of the public baths in the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 My latest Partisan Star Badge. Enamel cracked, but otherwise OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 This one is pretty worn down... Worn with pride? Or a later/ subsequent die to the first example posted? Center appears to be real silver, I suspect that they were worn down quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim B Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Well, I was hoping to add another one of these here; unfortunately after almost 40 days, it still hasn't arrived. So, I think I won't be seeing it at this point either. Looks like the top star arm has had some enamel repaired as it appears to be darker in color and remnants of enamel can be seen on the gold edges. Question; I have seen a few now that have the center slightly rotated at different angles; is that anything to be concerned about? Thanks, maybe one day.

Tim B Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Well, unbelieveably, it just showed up. So, any answers to the question above on the center orientation? Tim :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim B Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Finally got around to taking some PIC's. Worn but, still pretty decent shape despite the top arm having the enamel replaced. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim B Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Not as minty as Rick's (Stogieman), but really a powerful design. Just how rare/scarce are these? Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 I don't know how many were actually awarded. Earliest award date I have a document for this type of document is 1960. I do have early awards in 1959 on the first type of document. I have seen these awarded late as well, into the 1970's. What is very hard to find is the star in exceptional, bright, undamaged condition. Most of them show enamel damage and wear to the center disc, loss of gilding, etc. Here's an example of the first type of document: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim B Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Nice Doc Rick! Yes, I have only seen a couple of these and both had some damage to the top star point. Too bad on your enamel damage as that piece is in exceptional condition otherwise. Tim :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 Hi Tim, I have a large number of these, mostly in groups with the documents. Including a couple near mint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim B Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 :love: Rick, that's a beauty! I assume this badge only comes in this one verson, unlike the partisan stars from Albania and Yugoslavia? Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecleaver Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hi what price should I expect to pay for an example of this badge in good condition with all enamel intact? Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolgarin Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Dear collegues, what is this. Late 70-early 80 production or fake? I never see such items with so strange revers..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim B Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) Boy, you got me there, neither have I. Sure looks nice from the front side. The motto is slightly different font and the screw disc has markings on it that might allude to a maker. Were these made by more than one manufacturer? When did they stop making them?
