Do you know if there is a numerical research list at all? Were these awarded sequentially?

Yet again I'm floating around at the bottom of the pool wth a few third clasees - might have a second class somewhere.

Megan, very nice orders! Can you show reverse of 1st class? Is it screw back or pin back?

Ulsterman, unfortunately there are no known award lists with serial numbers, for any yugoslav orders. maybe, somewhere over the rainbow in some forgotten Belgrade archive... names of awardees were published in official gazette, but w/o s/n, unfortunately. And awarding was far from consequential, relating to s/n. A normal state of affairs for Balkan :rolleyes:
