Saw many things at the last local show, but this really appealed....

[Stogieman]

Mostly becaue it came with this:

[Ulsterman]

Order's number is entered only in a small 'witness' booklet.

On the diploma the rewarding number is not written.

here's a complete set. Following the seller, the big diploma bears a number.

Hmmmmmm...slippery slope I think......

Is there a book or website that details Czech Communist era awards at all?

hello Ulsterman, please what do you mean?

The sets I've seen with the two diplomas seem to be the rarest and most expensive. I believe Czech collectors don't let go them easily.

[Ulsterman]

I mean a book all about ALL Czech medals and awards during the Communist era-similar to the one Charles has just brought out about Hungarian medals.

hi,i am just new on this forum,collect medals since the mid 80s with some ups and downs but always have had intrest in eastblock medals esp czech 1948 - 1989,i do have a book on czech medals in stock any intrest in it??

sovetska a ceskoslovenska vyznamenani soviet and czechoslovakian awards printed in 1974 by magnet press(they made more medal books visit the empty building a few years ago & hope to find some books building is still empty and still for sale) was sold in the vojenske muzeum in prague during the medalshow of ussr/cssr medals 144 pages good condition in czech text of course but with lots of photos even for those who dont understand czech.

There is a mixed system on czech medals you have the state medals like orders of the red banner and any ww II medal like partizans star,but the police,fire brigade,kraj(states ) do have there own medals also and to made it nicer to the collectors also in slovakian and czech text.

I mean a book all about ALL Czech medals and awards during the Communist era-similar to the one Charles has just brought out about Hungarian medals.

[seb16trs]

hello Ksc, I believe I konw this book, but could you be kind enough to show us a cover scan please?

[Iver]

...one 1.type "complete set" in slovakian language... the number is on the big decree, "small booklet" on the case and also on the decoration itself...

[Stogieman]

Nice set, especially in Slovak. My Grandfather's family was from Slovakia

[Iver]

Stogieman: which part of Slovakia?

..here some close-ups of decoration...

[Stogieman]

I am embarrassed to say I don't remember. My Great-Grandmother was in some mountains, I have a painting hanging behind me, but I don't know the name of them. This was my Mom's Dad's family. her Mom's family was from Lithuania, we still have much family in Vilnius.

[Iver]

..maybe from the picture it will be possible to identify them

[Stogieman]

I'm going to call my Mom tonight and ask her what she remembers!

[Stogieman]

My Great Grandparents were both from Tszair (Tzair), they met on the boat on the way over. This was close to Poprad (??). Now my Mom is combing through old stuff trying to glean more details!

[Stogieman]

This was in the Tatras Mountains, my Mom Thinks.....

The family name is Andras. We also have Oleksak and Mochak in the family
