Thanks for these, Megan. You've posed me a quandry - I have a star which is shaped like a first class, but may have the gold worn off, leaving an all-silver appearance. (Picture below) I got it from an Afghan refugee in the bazaar in Rawalpindi in the '80's. The shape is NOT the same as the second class you've shown. If I use my imagination, I can envision remnants of gold where they should be. I'd welcome comments from you or any other member who knows the Yugoslav ODM. What have I got here?

Thanks,

Hugh
