Albanian Group
While there are some condition issues (these awards were certainly well worn) and there is no documentation (efforts are still underway to remedy this, but the family is reluctant to let them go as they still receive benefits), it isn't often you see an Albanian group.
Plus the ribbon bar. Order of the Flag / Urdhёri i Flamurit “Rare” version, gold plated (not flat back). Schena #4, pp. 46-47 (this variety not shown); Lame vol. 2, #128, pp. 126-29. Order of Partisan Star / Urdhёri “Ylli Partizan”, Class III Schena #6, pp. 54-66, type 1.2 (?); Lame vol. 2, #90, pp. 48-53. Order of Labor / Urdhёri i Punёs, Class II Prawema. Schena #24, pp. 92-98, type 1.3; Lame vol. 2, #133/2, pp.132-37. Order of Bravery / Urdhёri i Trimёrisё “Rare” version, Ikom thin. Schena #18, pp. 82-85, type 1.2; Lame vol. 2, #115/1, pp. 94-97. Order of Military Service / Urdhёri i Shёrbimit Ushtarak First version, 1949-65. “Rare”. Schena #36, pp. 120-24, type 1.1 (1); Lame vol. 2, #105, pp.76-81.

Medal of Bravery / Medalja e Trimёrisё Schena #18, pp. 82-85, type 1.2 (?); Lame vol. 2, #116, pp. 94-97. Medal of Liberation / Medalja e Çlirimit Schena #55, pp. 152-53, type 1.2 (?); Lame vol. 2, #126, pp. 118-21. Medal 10th Anniversary of the Army / Medalja e 10-vjetirit tё Ushtricё Schena #59, pp. 160-61, type 1.1 (?); Lame vol. 2, #127 (?), pp.122-25. |

Order of the Flag / Urdhёri i Flamurit
The gold (not gilt bronze) variety, without flat back (not shown by Schena, but in Lame's book). Established 9 July 1945. Order of Partisan Star / Urdhёri “Ylli Partizan”, 3rd class, type 1, var. 1 The Soviet-made July 1945 variety (with Soviet-style screw-plate). Order of Labor / Urdhёri i Punёs, 2nd class, type 1, var 3 Made by Prawema. Note, please, the proper orientation of the badge. Most illustrations are incorrect (including Schena's). |

Order of Bravery / Urdhёri i Trimёrisё, type 1, var. 2
Made by Ikom, thin sub-variety. Order of Military Service / Urdhёri i Shёrbimit Ushtarak, type 1, var. 1 The enamel has had a hard life, but still a nice single-class (1949-65) badge made by Mennica Państwowa. Medal of Bravery / Medalja e Trimёrisё, type 1, var. 2 Made by IKOM. |

Medal 10th Anniversary of the Army / Medalja e 10-vjetirit tё Ushtricё, type 1, var. 1
Established 30 May 1953. One of the things I find interesting and challenging about this group is how the ribbon bar calls into question the research we have in hand (Schena) on the order of wearing for these Albanian awards. It is always good to slap about "what we thought we knew"? (Still working on the documents, even photocopies.) I hope to have some new "chum" to throw into the tiny Albanian pond of interest "soon". |
