Here is the Hero of Yugoslavia and a great pic from Williams complete set of this award.
Instituted on 15 August 1943, in a single class, to award outstanding bravery in action.This order was instituted on august 15, 1943. The last example was awarded on may 16 1976 to Tito. From beginning until then totally awarded have been 45 to military units or other organizations, 22 to Non-Yugoslav persons and 1324 to Yugoslav citizens. The bearer of those orders were given special awards and conditions for lifetime. This order counts as one of the highest ranked orders of socialist Yugoslavia in the past WWII time. In the time the after WWII it was the highest rank order with the institution of the order of grand Yugoslav star it took 3rd rank in the orders list. Eddie.

What is that ""hollow inside" thing?
I guess this one, being offered for $75. Is this the tomback variation, or still another one? Thanks, Dolf Last edited by CtahhR; 02-26-2012 at 07:50 PM. |

That is the tombac variation.
There's no shortage of these! It's the same seller selling them one at a time... Rusty.

Rusty,
So this one is the normal T3 mentioned in your list as made in Yugoslavia in "gilt bronze" ? Is tomback the same thing? Or are there two variations of these pieces made in Yugoslavia, apart the one in gold? One let's say normal 1st award in gilt bronze and another replacement piece in tomback for those who returned their original pieces to the State? :confused: I wonder why would people have done that, I mean returning their original pieces to the State, and then have a replacement piece later?! :confused: And what does it means "hollow inside"?!... :confused: Thanks buddy, Dolf |

It's the same thing. It may be an error on my part calling it a tombac.
Hollow inside means it's not a solid chunk of metal but rather made from two thin pieces that have been welded together. At least that's what I understand. The story may not be correct with the recipient giving it back. Rusty.

If you ask me that one looks odd and more like cast one than tombak two piece type.You need much better pics to tell which one is that.
Also there was about 1300-1400 national heros of Yugoslavija and approx 400 alive when awarded.In early days untill mid sixties if died at that time fammilys had to return order to state office for orders.No raplacements and no second order were given to fammilys. Regards Dejan |

I think, that order on the picture is a fake. It lacks the details of the original order... The price is also a little too low.

I know that the seller in question has also sold other fakes in the past and passed them off as real. He sold a few Polish WW 1 victory medals which are complete fantasy pieces...those never existed.
