Piramida Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) Order of Freedom7 awardees: Tito, Ivan Gosnjak, Koca Popovic, Kosta Nadj, Peco Dapcevic, G.K.Zhukov, L.I.BrezhnevThe highest military award of Yugoslavia, founded on June, 12th, 1945It was awarded to commanders of the largest army units and for a skilful management of armies and an outstanding courage.Material: Gold, rubies (45), enamel, brilliants (61) ? 6 mm largest size, others - 3 mm.Price: UNKNOWN - None known in private collectionsYou might find this interesting, my grandfather who was an avid collector of orders and medals managed to get a price of 120,000 german marks for Ivan Gosnjak's Order of Freedom from his widow but did not have the money to buy it at the time. That was in the late 70's early 80's Edited June 27, 2006 by Piramida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Zulus Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) Best resource for Orders & Medals of Communist Bloc countries ?Regardless of what you think of that forum, it's still the best resource for Communist Block countries.Dear Rusty,now - 1 1/2 years after your posting - the situation is different, that's my frank opinion.Threads at GMIC go much more into the depth and in terms of research they are matchless.Here at GMIC there is a professional, friendly & gentlemanlike atmosphere.GMIC offers you 150 KB for decent scans, which is really enough.Besides the dramatically grown sections for the Communist Bloc countries, GMIC offers you a wide range of other highly interesting sections for the medal collector.Last, but not least, GMIC offers you Christophe's quiz about the Communist Bloc countries with more than 10.000 views, almost 1.000 replies and 83 questions.Our chairman Nick and his staff have done an excellent job the last years.Best regards Christian Edited March 22, 2007 by Christian Zulus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
