BalkanCollector Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I'd like to share some of the stuff I've seen in Macedonia and some of the stuff which I've bought in some of the local antique shops. NI Institute and Museum Bitola. There's a part of the museum which is dedicated to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Firstly here are some of his uniforms. I doubt that those are actually his uniforms but still nice to see. I'd appreciate more knowledgeable members for futher information because I don't know much about them.

BalkanCollector Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 The last but not least, bought in an antique shop in Skopje. Yugoslav Major-General Svetozar Vukmanović "Tempo", giving a speech in Kumanovo, Macedonia in 1945. He's wearing a Yugoslav Order of the Partisan Star 1st class, Partisan Commemorative award of 1941 and a Soviet Order of Kutuzov 1st class. I'm really glad, I've found this gem!

Egorka Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I am quite sure these are not postal stamps. These were used to mark that the membership fee has been payed. Like a receipt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
