Drugo Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Gentlemen, I haven't found this order in previous threads, I might have to search better. Anyway, here's my Order of the Yugoslav flag with Sash, 1st of 5 classes, it was founded on 26 November 1947. It was mostly awarded to foreigners (only 340 pieces out of 1420 were awarded to Yugoslav citizens), for merits in the development of cooperation and friendly relations between the SFRY and other countries, and to Yugoslav citizens for the development of the counsciousness of citizens in the struggle for the country's indipendence. More informations and comments are welcome, let's revitalize this beautiful section of the forum. Best regards, Drugo
paja Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Drugo, thanks for so many beautiful pictures and details! The order looks great! I have in my collection the Order of the Yugoslav flag with golden wreath (2nd class) unfortunately only the breast star without necklace. Strange thing about this order is that the lover the grade is - the rarer it is, so the 5th class is the rearest(!?) Except the 3rd class which was awarded somewhere about 1440 times, if I'm not mistaking. Colud someone please tell me what's the approximate worth of my class without necklace. Thanks in advance. Best regards Paja

Drugo Posted June 4, 2011 Author Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Paja, nice order! I too find curious that, with this particular order, the lower the class, the less the awarded number, something that goes against common sense. I think it's difficult to establish a price for the star itself, without the necklace, I've never seen it sold separately. Regards, Filip Edited June 4, 2011 by Drugo

Hugh Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I picked this one up in the bazaar in Rawalpindi during the height of the Russian occupation in Afghanistan. They had not smeared it with chicken blood to make it more trophy-like.
