    Quiz Question


    Recommended Posts

    This is the gold medal "Franjo Kluz" distributed by the VSJ - Vazduhoplovni Savez Jugoslavije (Airflight society of Jugolsavia). It was instituted in 1955 and was awarded for outstanding achivments and merits in the air sports domain. The name of the medal was changed in 1958 to "Zlatna plaketa Franjo Kluz" (breast medal).

    The first attribution took place in 1956 and as far as known ther were only 176 awarded until 1973. From this date there are any other attribution in the archives to be found, thus we must assume that the attributen stoped in 1972. The atributtion took place at the end of the year and the sport achivements had to be of high international meaning to be taken in consideration for . Thus at leas some national record or any international title or similar.

    Franjo Kluz was was in WWII the first partizan pilot.

    The medal was awarde in a blue box of quadratic size without any writings on the outer side, on the inside ther is a makers mark of IKOM Zagreb stamped in golden letters.

    As far as I know there are three items in collectors hands and one box. The law of institution prohibited any selling of the order.

    Best regards
