Gentlemen,

Which Class would this one be?

Also, is there a problem with the pin? I mean it seems it's twisted or crooked or something like like!

Thanks for your opinions,

Dolf

Dolf · 12-22-2005, 08:38 PM

And this one, which Class is it?

Not really easy to identify the Classes on this one! Or is it just me? :confused:

Thanks,

Dolf

Dolf,

they both are 3rd class.

Pin is fine, it's just deformed a bit.

Still confusing to me to clearly identify these!
Don't these two I posted have a different color?
The 1st one seems a bit more brown-yellow and the 2nd one a bit more silver color! This one on the 2nd pic looks very similar to the 3rd Classes posted above by Taz and Roy, but the 1st one I posted looks somehow different! Could these be different variations inside the 3rd Class, or is it just the quality or the light effect of the pics?

Yes indeed, I got the confirmation from the seller that the pin "has been
'shaped' by the wearer over a period of time. Looks like it got bent as it went through heavy clothes or a uniform." (his words)

Thanks,

Dolf

Dolf,

I have several 3rd classes that are of different shades.

An authentic 2nd class has the whole center gold plated and you can't miss it!

I'll post pictures as soon as I get them. I have 2 packages on their way from Croatia as we speak...

A Yugoslavian order of labuor 1st class with original box just sold for 151 EUR on eBay. Even though with so poor pictures. :)

Hello

All orders same grade but you will find early ones (screw back ones) with award No. class No. and so no.Than you have reworked ones from screw too vertical pins and horizontal pins with award No. and class No. or without or wit one or another.Late ones as on pic only with class No. or plain.Here and there award No. or combination of award no and class No. but rare and who know why.

Hello,

Any translation help is greatly appreciated. Is this award document for a 1st class award? Any idea of that the round piece of wood at the bottom of the document?

Dat,

You are correct, the doc is for first class. Awarded for contribution to building Socialism in Yugoslavia.

Round wood thing is actually a box that holds red wax state seal of SFRU. You should be able to open it.

Thanks for the info.

You are correct. I was able to pry it open and there is a red wax seal on one side of the circular box. The seal has a raised 6 torch emblem. I'll try to post a picture of that shortly.
