Seen it offered with the addition of wound medal, can't confirm that right now though.

Regards Eddie

Re: Red hrvatskog križa/Order of the Croatian Cross

Like so many of these post-socialist awards, this one certainly has an echo of the fascist period.

Re: Red hrvatskog križa/Order of the Croatian Cross

I really like this one it seems to have rather a rather celtic/folksy feel to it. Looks like one of those broaches archaeologists go wild for. I would also be very happy to have one of these pinned to my chest.

Nice to see the Austro-Hungarian style ribbon also still in use almost 100 years after it went separate ways.

Any idea who designed this?

Yes. According to Miltary Medals, Decorations, and Orders of Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina - Croatian Forces International Volunteers Association - Udruga Medunarodnih Dragovoljaca Hrvatskih Oruzanih Snaga

Quote:
Awarded to Croatian and foreign citizens who were badly wounded taking part in the War for the Homeland.

This has been likened to the United States' Purple Heart. Medals are awarded to persons classified as 60% permanently disabled and above.

4,649 have been awarded.

Re: Red hrvatskog križa/Order of the Croatian Cross

The critaria etc is here but with Croatian the translator seems to strike.

So indeed a wound medal. and agreed, very attractive and well made.


108 3.11.2000 Pravilnik Reda hrvatskog kri�a

here is the ribbon bar for it.
