That PS 1 is from stock found in Belgrade and is one of the last.Also box is not for that PS 1 but for IKOM revorked one PS 1 or IKOM made PS 1.All Russian made PS 1 issued with bordo red wooden boxes.
And yes I have privilege to see until this date three different PS 1 in 600 range that is awarded pieces.For piece like that you will pay 1000+ Euro if the seller know what is in his possesion.Also belive me there will be soon end with PS 1 from 600-2000 range because there was fifty or so found and no more.

I would like to know if this is a repair that was done on the screw. It looks so to me. Thanks for your help.
Tres bien! A PS3 is on my list of things....
Why do you think a repair was done to the screw, because of the color? If so I'd guess 'no' because I believe the upper part of the screw was somehow covered for some years and was no allowed to develop patina like the rest of the order. Just a wild guess.

Maybe you are right Eric, because if it's a repair it was very professionally done. I just tought the color should be consistent. I was surprise to see that my Soviet made Partisan Star 3rd Class as no patina at all on the screw. Plain "silver-aluminium" color.
I don't know if this one was too high to be awarded 16804, but I don't think so because they made the IKOM after them.
STOPNJE means "class" in slovenian and REDA means "class" in serbo-croatian. On the first class there is a cyrlic inscription, but it means the same thing - "class".
I've heard, from a respective yugoslav militaria collector, that Ikom made a few partisan stars (mostly 1st and2nd clas) without any markings on reverse. Some of the 2nd clas have just II stamped on the back. Anyone knows something about this?
