Re: Medal of Remembrance / Medalji e Kujtimit
This one looks nicer than other albanian awards.

Re: Medal Of Remembrance / Medalji E Kujtimit
Here is a strange "Parrot" Variation as the Fighter has what seems to be a ball on his shoulder which seems to be quite unrelated to any other parts of construction.
I very much enjoy this award as it is very much an honest well worn and aged piece unlike the vast stockpiles of unissued Albanian items so frequently seen. As I have only been working on an Albanian project for about 15 years now, I am quite happy to be told I have no clue about these sorts of things.

Re: Medal Of Remembrance.
Here is another Type 2.
These are usually found in a well worn condition, indicative of their importance in Albania.

Re: Medal Of Remembrance.
Here is a less common Type 3. These Polish examples are most noticeable in the curve of the flag away from the flagpole.

Re: Medal Of Remembrance.
This is an unfortunate Type 2.
Some may not mind the disinformation some people distribute about the metal content of certain awards to try and inflate the price. It is not such a happy story when a recipient (or their family) destroy an award because they need the income, it is even a more disastrous tale when the metal they though was gold just turns out to be some worthless alloy. A rather sad end to a prestigious award due to a misconception.
