Albanian Submarine Insignia
Does anyone know where I could obtain an original Albanian Submarine Insignia (according to Thornton and Prichard Albania has at least a cloth badge with a grey submarine on a dark blue wool back issued in the early 1990s)? Was there any other badges issued back in the 1960's? Was there a Commanders badge similar to the Soviet Commanders badge?
Thanks, JS |

Hi and welcome JS,
Very little is known about the Albanian Navy Submarine Insignia, which I suppose is understandable, because they originaly only had four Whiskey type Submarines aquired from the Soviets in the 60's. This you have probably seen already from Sub-Insignia: Submariners uniforms were reportedly unique. A patch showing the silhouette of a submarine (silver/white on a blue/black background) has been seen and reproduced. Conflicting reports indicate the real version (if there is a real version) has gold vice the silver embroidered thread that is most often seen. So as things stand I would imagine finding "original" Insignia very difficult. The image shows the patch that is currently known, however if that is original or not remains to be seen. Regards Eddie

Thanks Eddie,
I had seen the discription and am hoping someone may have one or know of where I may procure one. I have collected submarine insignia and am now trying to find originals of the really hard/rare ones. My hope is to research and post a website that will complement and expand upon the Sub-Insignia site. Thanks, JS |

Your welcome,
This reminds me of the same situation as with the North Korean Sub-Insignia, of course if anything interesting turns up I'll post it here. Regards Eddie.
