Partisan Commemorative 1941.

new world · 07-09-2004, 05:00 AM

Before the official system of awards was in place - Yugoslavia awarded its partisans with badges.

Here's Type 1 badge - made in Soviet Union. Later these badges were exchanged for Type 2 silver ones, making these one of the rarest Yugoslavian awards.

Type 2 Partisan badge, made of sterling silver.

Pin-back variation also exists.

On E right now.

This is considered to be one of the rarest Yugoslavian badges.

Actually it's more than just a badge, as it was elevated to the status of the order by the Yugoslavian government.

Dolf,

$110 is a bit high. I'm thinking about it...

Rusty,

Well, if it "is considered to be one of the rarest Yugoslavian badges", as stated by William, then it's not even too high.
But I know what you mean, even if "it was elevated to the status of the order by the Yugoslavian government", as also mentioned by William, after all it's still a Badge: Badge shape, Badge look...
Also it's not easy from this pic to see in which condition is the enamel.
I was also tempted but, giving it a 2nd thought...

Gentlemen,

Which one is the older one?
According to the S/N I guess it's the screwback one, right?

Sorry for the poor pics :o
Anyway, screwback is #1661 and pinback is #23366 (not sure about the last 2 digits!)

Thanks,

Dolf

Dolf, are you starting to collect Yugoslavian awards? I see that you have a growing interest for those awards. :)

I think you are showing the differences between the first and the second class. So the numbers don't match together.

Dolf · 12-06-2005, 05:26 PM

Bryan,

I don't think there are different Classes of this Award, only one.
So my guess is that the screwback should be a Type/Variation I and the pinback a Type/Variation II.
(Ron, Rusty, William... am I wrong? Any hints? Thanks)

Replying to your other question, well, just a few pieces that I find nice, attractive and financially very competitive if compared with the Soviet or Mongolian Awards, for which btw (apart a few rarer, expensive and hard to find pieces) I guess I have most pieces I can afford :cool:

So yes, I guess I'm moving again...
If you add to that my growing interest in non communist old Portuguese Orders...
I wish I win the lottery soon :p

Well I really don't know if there is only one class or two. I do collect yugoslavian orders and know so few about them. Which I had a good collector guide. :cry:

I tought there was 2 classes. One in siver finished and the second in a gold finished. Maybe that's only the gold color that is now gone.

Picture added for Dolf.
