Odznak Ceskoslovenského Partyzána

Created in 1946 and given to the training of Czech partisans as some Yugoslav partisans who fought side by side against the German invader. It is a star 47.5 x 49.6 surrounded by a crown of leaves and flowers. In the center a partisan with a PPsh in his hands and the inscription "CS PARTIZAN". In the back is the thread and locknut, also the numbering, in this case 133. It´s the first variant.
They delivered some 24,000 of them numbered. Subsequently created more but lacked numbering.

a nice badge
in what material is made?

Silvered tombac.

There exists several partisan awards for Czechoslovak partisans (as well as specific Czech and Slovak ones) right?
I remember seeing a wonderfully enamelled red star celebrating the Yegorova group and several badges commemorating the Slovak SNP. Bout I might well be wrong..

Esistono diverse onorificenze per i partigiani Cecoslovacchi (e anche altre specifiche per i partigiani cechi e slovacchi) giusto? Ricordo di aver visto un meraviglioso distintivo aa stella a smalti rosse del gruppo Yegorova e diversi altri distintivi commemorativi dell'SNL slovacco. Potrei sempre sbagliarmi però..

Yes, but it´s the most popular. Others : Partisan Helper Badge, Partisan Brigade "For Freedom of Slovakia", Anti-fascists Union Medal of Honor , Jan Zizka Partisan Badge, Partisan Parachutist Badge.....and more.....

There are 3 books about partisan badges, by Vaclav Mericka, written in the 80ies:

Finaly I found the specific diploma (he knew better times!)

Some details.

Wooow.... I'm cleaning my images bank, and here is what I found!

Same diploma, same guy, another date!

Seb,

The date is different, but the award number is the same. Maybe, that could be an early duplicate?

Impossible to know, but it is a good probability.
