Fellow collector states this one is Albanian Partisan Star 1st class.
Note similarities to Yugoslavian Partisan Star. William |

There was a 1st class for sale on eBay a few weeks back for $850 but no one bid on it.
Even though it's rare there's barely any demand for Albanian items. Rusty.

I agree there's little demand for Albanian awards, but there was low interest in Bulgarian, as well as in Mongolian and Yugoslavian awards few years ago - and look what happened recently with the prices. Collectors look for new fields to collect and will collect whatever country looks cool and is affordable. With Soviet items being out of reach - I'd say these exotic countries have a chance. I mean the set I posted was offered for about $500 - what rare Soviet item can you buy for $500? Not even a common Lenin... William |

I agree with you completely.
I remember the Sukhe-Bator being offered to me for $500 and I thought that it was cool but bought Soviet items instead. I should have bought it... Then again, I bought my Kutuzov 2 with that money so I'm not complaining. I didn't pay $500 for my Kutuzov 2 (just in case :) ) The Albanian Partisan Stars can't be that rare or common but just like the numbered Mongolian Red Banners there seems to be a small stash being sold off! I'm being offered 2 sets right now at $400 and there was the set on eBay... Rusty.

It's rare set, but for some reason I've seen several for sale during last month.
I don't know what to say. William |

Hi, I'm new here and trying to learn more on the Soviet/block awards.
In regards to the Albanian Partisan Stars, I have heard that prices are coming down drastically as the government has recently (within the last year or so) released a bunch of these onto the marketplace; apparently unused stock. I understand the 1st class awards were pretty costly, but I managed to just pick this one up just over $100. It's in the mail, so I haven't held it in-hand yet, but everything looks correct IMO. Thoughts/opinions on the piece? You can make out the parenthesis on the top front star point and below, you can see these "dimples" towards the tips. Hope I did right as I honestly know little to nothing on these. Looks nice! Tim |

Re: Partisan Star, 1st Class
This is another of the Eastern Bloc Partisan "stars" I picked up on the cheap side. I have no way of knowing who (which mint) made this one because there are no markings that I know to look for on this 3rd class version.
I was also sure that the seller had just stuck the screw nut on from a Soviet order, but now that I finally saw some pictures of the reverse here, I see that these were used. It's neither exciting or dull, in my view, and they certainly are bigger than most in my experience. The first two pictures are without and with a flash, respectively. Phillip P.S. Eric, you were right about these things being addictive...;)
