Order of Military Merit 2nd Class

Here's the 2nd class that I just recieved.

It's interesting to note that even though it is the 6 torch variation it is still made out of silver!

I was under the impression that the later (6 torch) pieces were not made from silver.

Here it is:

Hi
6 torch pieces are made from 1964 onward,so in early periode until late seventies or early eighties every piece is silver.And small secret 6 torche pieces made from tombak are harder to find than silver ones.

Dejan,

Thanks for the info.

A question for you: if 6-torch pieces were made from silver, why do they often look like there's some sort of bright silvery finish (silver or nickel plating???) and that finish is peeling / wearing off?

If you look at Rusty's pics of the reverse - you'll see what I mean.

Thanks,
William

Sometimes when I tried to clean some pieces it looks like they are coted whit some kind of lacquer.So when I finished they looks rather matt finished.So I realy dont know what is the reason for that.But if these orders are marked whit silver marks they must be made from silver.What is on my mind is also that quallity of silver is maybe not to standard or something else.
Regards
Dejan
