numis Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Is it possible to identify recipients of WW2 Yugoslavian awards from the numbers on them. I have previously been advised on another forum that this is not possible but am inquiring here now in case anyone here knows different or records have since become available ?

BalkanCollector Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Unfortunately, it's not possible. The Chancellery of Orders in Belgrade exists but it's closed to public and we all hope it opens one day and that the research by number becomes available. Even if it was possible, I doubt we would get anything more than a name though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numis Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Thank you for advising Intermediate I bought a lot of different Yugo.WW2 Medals on a UK auction and it has occured to me that they could have been to one person but there is apparently no way of checking this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalkanCollector Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Feel free to post the medals, I'm sure there's some of us who would like to see them and possibly give you some info about the manufacturer and types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numis Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 I do not have the technology to post photos; Awards in the lot purchased were as follows: Order Partisan Star USSR Manufacture # 7183 Spomenika 1941: Ist type (USSR made ) (Unnumbered ) and 2nd type # 16357 Order of Bravery 1st type # 5651 & 2nd type # 11359 Medal for Bravery : 1st type ( USSR ) and 2nd type Medal for Military Virtue ( 1951- ) Medal for Merit to the People ( 1945 - ) Medal for Labour ( 1945- ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalkanCollector Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Most likely not a group to a single person, mainly because of the last three medals which were low ranked. 3 hours ago, numis said: Order Partisan Star USSR Manufacture # 7183 I'm guessing it's the 3rd class of the order, the one with rifles.

numis Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 I should have mentioned that the OPS was third class I also have ( from separate acquisitions ) the second and third classes of this order ( USSR made ) to Russians with documents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalkanCollector Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 That's very nice! We don't see many of those with documents. Please share some pictures if you're willing to do so, there are some of us who geek about this stuff very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numis Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 I do not have the technology to post photos Both OPS are numbered in a range between 2300 and 2400 and both documents are dated 5 May 1945. One is to a Guards Corporal and the other to a Junior Lieutenant My interest in Yugo.WW2 is part of an interest in the awards of all Allied countries and Resistance for WW2 I was very pleased to obtain the two Spomenika 1941 awards I also have two Slovenian Partisan awards ( 1983 Medals for the 6th and 7th Partisan Brigades ; both numbered ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
