Order "For Bravery".

[Taz]

Mark that's sad news,
Funny thing is I found my dads Medals lying around with old coins pins etc, also without the award boxes and docs.
On a more happier note. The Order of Bravery was issued not in a box but in a packet.

It is made of gilt metal and came only in one class. The example shown here is a 2nd emission that was made in Yugoslavia. An early type was made in the USSR/CCCP, which had minor differences. It is inscribed in Serbo-Croatian with “SMRT FASIZMU – SLOBODA NARODU”, which translates to “DEATH TO FASCISM - LIBERTY TO THE PEOPLE”. The planchet shows a rifle lying over the Yugoslavia Flag and a crossed axe and scythe with the communist star adorning the top. The Backside has the serial number 140,830 that matches the packet of issue. However, this medal was awarded 120,636 times since it inception, so this particular medal never had a recipient. This medal went out of production on Dec 31, 1985.

Here it is with ribbon bar and packet of issue.
