In last time there is realy flooding of every known Yugoslavian order,but not so many as you think.When these pieces find homes in collections you will search next one for a years.As we speak before a lot of these orders come from IKOM mint and form Belgrade order office but not in so huge amounts as you think.If there is in circulation 20-or 30 orders of rare type beleive me they will dissaper soon or a later so no panic.
If you have booklet from Marian Furlan and Nened Bjelos Yugoslavian awards from 1919-1991 ther you have approx No.of awarded orders of thst type.At a moment I dont have book at hand so I will check latter.

Numbers awarded for the Order of the Yugoslavian Flag:
1st Class: 1421
2nd Class: 1300
3rd Class: 1443
4th Class: 955
5th Class: 769
As you can see the 4th and 5th class are less common than than the first three classes.
New World: I am the "insane" person who bought the 4th Class version of the order on eBay. It is the first one that I have seen for a year or so. I thought it was a fair price. I also bought a nice "Cyrillic" version of the Medal for National Merit from the same dealer. Gunner 1

This week I purchased a complete set of Order of the Yugoslavian Flag 2nd Class.
To my surprise we don’t even have a thread for it!
The set is coming this afternoon by FedEx. I can’t wait!
I’ll be posting some pictures later today.

William,
Thanks! It's should be here any minute now!!!
After long and winding negotiations I was able to pick it up for about $800 with overnight shipping.
The asking price was fine! It's the conversion from US Dollar to Great Britain's Pound that hurts the most! :banghead
I'm planning on doing some Internet research :relax on the diplomat that received the order.
