paja Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 I really like that M51. I have never seen one of those before. Also, those are some amazing medal bars. Those Yugoslav M51 submachine guns (cal 7.62mm), also known as Matić-Cvetić prototypes, were made especially for the Day of the Army (22. December) in a very limited number and were given to high officials, Tito's generals. I have read somewhere that the name of the receiver was inscribed on every piece. Last year I was able to see in person and take a picture of the piece that used to belong to General Koča Popović. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paja Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Thanks Paul, even though there are a lot of museums in Serbia most of their websites are unfortunately either obsolete or very poor when it comes to presentation.

paul wood Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Radmilo, I hope it was right because there are some dangerous forgeries of Dragas about and given the short lived time of the Order if right $2,000 doesn't seem excessive. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
