Slovakian Order of Prince Pribina

[JBFloyd]

Can anyone tell me the difference, if any, between the breast stars of the "special class" and "grand cross" of the Slovakian Order of Prince Pribina. None of my sources distinguish between the two.

[Megan]

You mean the 1940 Order?

Sorry, I don't have any pictures of that at all :-(

I'm almost sure there's the same award. But once I met very strange star of Czechoslovakian order of the White Lion -

I think it was made from the Pribina' star.

Especially for Megan: the star of Pribina (WW2):

The avers of the Grand Officer's cross:

And the revers of the cross:

And there're modern Slovakian decorations: 1st grade of the Prince Pribina's cross

The second grade:

And (try to guess ) - yes! the third grade!

From another helpful collector, it seems that what I have is the star of the first class (Type 1, in use 1940-1942). A photo is attached.

Thanks for the info on the modern Pribina order.

Thank you Taras... er, may I be so bold as to ask if I might have permission to use your pictures on my website? (With appropriate acknowledgement of course)

Dear Megan, unfortunately, unfortunately and one more time unfortunately these pics aren't mine. They are taken from the Net. I've been in Slovakia several months ago and I realized the Slovakian awards are near impossible to be found. But I can give you this adress of the Slovakian ".gov-site". I'm sure it would be real "Fair use" because this information was distributed officially.

Thank you, Taras - already found that & their pictures of the current Prince Pribina Cross are nowhere as good as the ones you displayed! But I shall try talking to them anyway...

Just keep in mind that they erroneously changed indentification of photos of Orders of Stefanik and Stur.

I recently won an eBay auction for a ribbon bar for the 4th class version of the 1940-1944 Slowakischer Fürst-Pribina-Orden - red with narrow blue center stripe and a swords and wreath device with blue and red enamel. Does any have a list of those who were awarded this medal?

Here is the ribbon bar. Please may I have your comments.
