BalkanCollector Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Order of People's Hero currently for sale on eBay. Fake or not? Your opinions. http://www.ebay.com/itm/YUGOSLAVIAN-ORDER-OF-THE-PEOPLES-HERO-/252346291255?hash=item3ac102d437:g:sr4AAOSwXshWr1Pg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Images are too small to see the details but the box is certainly not original. Most of the collectors I know don't consider those bronze pieces or "museum copies" as original. My opinion is the same, if you want original order get MD or IKOM gold one.

I would really want to buy this order eventually in my collecting "career" but it's too expensive for now since I'm only 18 and been collecting for less than a year.

paja Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 You're welcome, orders like that one on ebay pop up quite often, I think there had been a few of them in this topic before. Best of luck with your new hobby, as they say all good things come to those who wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paja Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Thanks for clarification, so the box is original but Albanian. I visited seller's website and noticed he has one more Yugoslav decorations in a box like that. Apart from that few orders are in wrong Yugoslav boxes.

You can always try your luck, contact seller and offer your price. It works sometimes. The seller chose the "buy it now" option, which may suggest he is open to negotiations. Good luck!

paja Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Order of Freedom fake ribbon bar. The golden star looks like the ones used for early shoulder boards.http://www.ebay.com/itm/SFRJ-YUGOSLAVIA-WWII-PARTISAN-ORDER-OF-FREEDOM-RIBBON-VERY-RARE-/162138423482?hash=item25c03400ba:g:KLYAAOSwYqxXilbI&autorefresh=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Here's one more. I think the red star is actually for Yugoslav Flag 4th class.http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Order-of-Freedom-SFRJ-pin-/162095554013?nma=true&si=l4B%2FuOjZ6%2B%2FJqR71sSH3NHTH7hg%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) One from my collection for comparison. Edited July 17, 2016 by paja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Just checked out other auctions, some of the ribbon bars from this lot don't look authentic to me.http://www.ebay.com/itm/SFRJ-YUGOSLAVIA-9-SET-OF-RIBBON-BARS-FOR-DRESS-UNIFORM-/162088534579?nma=true&si=l4B%2FuOjZ6%2B%2FJqR71sSH3NHTH7hg%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 I've seen ribbon rolls and metal applications being sold separately so I guess it's possible someone bought them and started making ribbon bars from original material.

paja Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 One more submarine badge, 1st type.http://www.ebay.com/itm/SFRJ-YUGOSLAVIA-SUBMARINE-BREAST-BADGE-/322116300969?hash=item4affa0b0a9%3Ag%3AdR4AAOSw71BXQEas&nma=true&si=l4B%2FuOjZ6%2B%2FJqR71sSH3NHTH7hg%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalkanCollector Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) I've seen those ribbon bars being sold on ebay before and I'm pretty sure that some of these are fake. Here's another one which looks like a reproduction to me. The ribbon looks like a reproduction and the medal looks too mint to be original as well as Tito being slightly different than from the original medal. http://www.njuskalo.hr/militarija/fnrj-medalja-uspomena-put-indiju-burmu-oglas-19702924 Edited July 23, 2016 by BalkanCollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 There has been a lot of talk about fake India&Burma medals on a certain forum. Here's another example some collectors presented as fake. Photos are from ebay. There's definitely a "new" feel to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paja Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Everything looks OK to me. I think I've seen that order before, if I remember well it was in a private collection in Slovenia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalkanCollector Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Yeah, this seller is from Maribor, Slovenia. Thanks for clearing this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 You're welcome! I didn't even notice that the seller is from Maribor, I saw that the ad is on Croatian website so I presumed the seller is from Croatia. Anyway definitely genuine piece made by the Soviets.
