Yugo Log Book Translations
« on: April 07, 2018, 12:38:10 PM »
 thankyou1   Really want to recognize Bob78 here for all the work put into these translations.....    I hope this will help others with similar log books.     thankyou1

FYI - The page numbers may not line up with your book, this is just the page order in my particular book.


Outer Hard Cover:



Soft Cover:

Warranty. It is written that repair cost will be paid by manufacturer 12 months from date of manufacture if rifle had been used, or 24 months if it would be in storage. Due dates are 31.10.1974 and 1975 (31st of October written European style), so this would mean it was made on 10/31/1973. It has been sold in 1975 (datum prodaje = sale date), but it is not stated who the buyer was. It was probably some state owned factory or corporation (all of them in Yugoslavia used to be state owned anyway). Factories, companies, etc. used to have armories or even AA guns in case of sudden attack.



Page 3:

In first columne we have some interesting data:  Na ZTV Jesen 74 means On army maneuvers Fall 1974. Few after that I can not understand (some military gibberish), magazin or magacin is storage.

use in kilometers or working hours (rad tehnickog sredstva u km ili mc) - military logbooks were universal for rifles or for example vehicles. Here it is written SZN-M, which is type of yugo oil based cosmoline, used for 10 year storage.
comment (primedba) - it is written isp. which is short for ispravna, or flawless. Brezhibna means the same, but it is in Slovenian language, as rifle was stationed in Slovenia, most northern part of ex Yugoslavia.
