Yugoslavia Awarding Documents

[wlodzimierz]

Gents,

as we know there are two documents which were given to awarders:

- Certificate

- Awarding Document

Early Certificates had a sentence 'This Certification is issued as temporary decree' since granting of awards had to be approved by correct authority (President, Parliament, Presidency).

This Certificates for Order for Bravery #46226 was issued by Personal Department of Command of Air Force on November 20, 1946. You can see the sentence I mention above 'Ovo uverenje izdaje se kao privremeni dekret'.

The question is how this Certificates was approved?

In next posting we will find an answer.

Look at this very interesting awarding document. You will find out that it was generic awarding document designed for legalization of all type of bestowed awards. Related decree #217 was issued on 2.2.1947 but the document itself on 30.03.1964.

I don't have any documents at the moment so I am grateful that you are posting them :-)

Usually you find Awarding Documents which were designed for particular Decoration, very often using in all classes the same background image (very often order of the 1st class). I will post some later.

But these, already posted, documents especially Awarding Document are very rare. I haven't seen such document before, there are two importing and interesting points:

1. this is approval of certification issued before.

2. this is first Awarding Document for Order for Bravery I ever seen.

This is one typical awarding document issued in 1958. Note that the Award is granted by President of the Federal National Republic of Yugoslavia (FNRY). FNRY it will be changed later into Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). Latest changed after death of President Tito in May 1980 was changing the word of President into Presidency.
