FYI
I have a large Pavelic bravery medal with it's certificate. It was awarded to a German as well. I'll post it sometime soon.

Hello Damir,
Please post
Hi,
today I have this page in the www. found:
Bandenkampf in Jugoslawien 1941-1945 : 0420 | Obituary | 118. Jager-Division
Here I show you another "Small Silver Ante Pavelic' Medal for Bravery" (MALU SREBNRU).
The diameter of the medal: 35 mm
Sometimes (not always), the Malu Srebnru was also made of silver and provided with appropriate hallmarks.
Here: TK for Theodor Krivak, Varaždin
Later, due to material savings, made of cheaper material.
The "Large Silver Ante Pavelic´ bravery medal", (VELIKU SREBNRU), was always made of silver and had a diameter of 41 mm.
AFAIK about 800 awards.
So, if you see a large one without hallmarks, then this is definitely a copy!
Croatia, Independent State.
Ante Pavelić Bravery Medal, Small Silver Grade Medal
Kolajna Ante Pavelić za junaštvo.
Instituted in 1941.
Constructed of silver.
The obverse consisting of an etched portrait of Ante Pavelić facing left, surrounded by inscription POGLAVNIK ANTE PAVELIC (The Leader Ante Pavelić).
The reverse with the coat of arms of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), along with the inscription ‘ZA HRABROST’ (for bravery) and dated ‘1941’.
Measuring 35.02 mm in diameter.
Sometimes hallmarked with a goose on the edge also the maker.
Gorgeous items. I recently bought a bronze Ante Pavelic medal in good condition and I am very happy to be able to find it.
Best regards
Sever (Romania)
