Egorka Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Nick, do you know if there is any chance to trace the number and find the recipient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know research is not possible, I don't know anyone who managed to so. There were even talks that the archive of the Chancery of Orders was destroyed but I'm not sure about that.

Daffy Duck Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Is there by any chance an corresponding number on the bottom of the case? That was quite regular in those times. Once again congratulations. Concerning the files from the Chancery, still haven't seen a single one. It could be done in another way: to check all names of the recipients from Czechoslovakia through the Official gazette, or trough the corresponding files in the Ministry of foreign affairs.

I am sorry for making the mistake.The correct number of the Star in the case is 9430. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickstrenk Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 A lot of the Orders of the Partisan Stars of the Soviet Production are for sale now-I saw at least 50 pieces in Bratislava during Bratislava Collectors Days on the tables.My question.What was the reason to start with the production of these orders in IKOM Zagreb,when the orders of Soviet production-Mondvor left? Now their price fell down rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seb16trs Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Do you have any ideas for explaining the huge quantities and cheap prices of all this amount of stars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No,I do not have.Simply,some dealers from former Yugoslavia sell them in Bratislava in June in Collectors Days every year.I bought mine quite expenisive about 10 years ago.What a pity,I did not wait to these days.

seb16trs Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Thank you for your input. So we could conclude that Belgrade mint had huge stocks of unissued orders in 1992... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stocs are of the Moscow Mint-Монетный двор.This way I do not understand,what was the reason to produce the orders in IKOM Zagreb when there were Soviet types left. In my collectors experience we can speak only about the Orders of Partisan Stars,but not about the Partisan Spomenica,or the Bravery Order those were produced also in Moscow Mint.

Elmar Lang Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Just as a little contribution, my own piece of soviet production, bought back in 1992. I assume, an awarded piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Gaumann Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I bought mine quite expensive about 10 years ago. What a pity,I did not wait to these days. It's crazy, isn't it? I'm not a huge collector with a big budget but I've never seen prices actually go down like this. And these are not cheap, tin awards; in many cases they are real silver. Nor were they awarded in hundreds of thousands or millions; they are fairly rare. It's just crazy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the same situation with Czechoslovak awards.The price of the Order of Labour was 25 years ago about 1500crowns,cca 50$,the price of the The Slovak Bravery 1st grade was 1200crowns/40$.Now the price of Labour Order is 1500crowns and nobody wants it without certificate,but the price of the Bravery/Za hrdinstvo is more than 1000euro. Some prices of some awards are rising up,but some are dropping down.Inceadibly are high the prices of gold coins.

Eric Gaumann Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 "Incredibly are high the prices of gold coins." Yep. Gold took a huge price jump a few years back and while the spot price has dropped some it still retains value. Silver went up as well at the same time, and then went down slowly but has not seen the same perceived value. At least in my opinion. What's a few good Communist Czechoslovak awards to look after with a tight budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric,only Order of Klement Gottwald is being looked for by the collectors and the Order of Friendship with the certificate....Czechoslovak Medals of Work-Československé vyznamenanie práce ,too.Other awards are out of interest.
