looks like his name was Dr. Bruno Kepnik, the general director of the Yugo mission in Austria? How did you get ahold of something this interesting? ;)

Nack,
I actually found some snippets on him using Google but not enough for my curiosity.
I bought it from UK so I would assume the family sold it to a dealer…

Has anyone actually seen a 2nd class with 6 torches?
The reason I ask is that my set was issued in 1967 and bears the 6 torches at the top of the document but the Neck Star still has 5 torches.
I'm sure the Mint was not going to trash the existing stock so they used what they had to award.
I'm curious if there was a production of 6 torch variations at a later time...
Dejan, Is it possible for you to translate my document?
Thanks!
Rusty.
