    7.Czechoslovak Military Order for Liberty

     The order was instituted 2.4.1946 as a military award for Czechoslovak and foreign citizens, who with their military acts in years 1939-1945 contributed to the liberation of Czechoslovakia. The statutes from years 1947-1949 were renewed to award also the military groups.The President or the Minister of National Defence honoured with the order.

    The order had 3 grades:The Golden Star

                                 The Silver Medal

                                  The Bronze Medal

    First  I will add only the common photo of all grades.To be continued...

    IMG_8979.jpg

    My good Ukrainian friend allowed me to put the Order for Liberty of 1st Grade bestowed on Carpatian Ukrainian Corporal in Reserve Jan Ivan Kočerhan.The order was bestowed in memoriam.It is not easy to find the certificate of this order to the collection.Two unusual things say about its rarity-the order was bestowed on the foreigner a with so low rank.It says about a heroic act.

    Hi nick, a friend of mine found a special Czechoslovak partisan badge, which has three hallmarks on the screw. However, the badge itself doesn't have any hallmarks. I will share photos of this badge this weekend.

    Dear nick

    Recently, my friend acquired a Czechoslovakia partisan badge . Unlike other partisan badges, which are constructed of silvered bronze, this one has three hallmarks on the screw("900", "KK", triangle), and the material of the badge seems to be silver, although the badge itself doesn't have a hallmark. I'm interested in your perspective.

    Thank you very much for your assistance.

    Warm regards,

    Yang Chuyu
