Hi, Bob, congratulations for your finds. 

To complete your albanian pieces, I am showing you my pieces.

Regards, Artan

Those are the GLA distinctives with letters in Italian and Albanian, each of them in two types of clips.

Those are the distinctives of the Albanian Fascist Party.

This is the badge of the PFSH.

Those ate 4 different types of the arm badge of the Albanian Fascist Militia.

1. In felt.

2. In stamped silvered thick tin.

3. In bachelite.

4. In stamped thin tin.

Chip, Bayern,

Thanks for your contribute.

Here is the belt and the sword know of Heaton-Armstrong, who were gifted to the National Museum of Tirana from his daughter. As you know he was a Price Wied officer. You can see that his sword knot has black and red colors. So, do you think the Heaton-Armstrong used an Wurttembergian sword knot, or was it made red and black specifically for Albania?

Dear all,

This is the last piece I find in Albania. Reading the very interesting OTTOMAN UNIFORMS of Chris Flaherty, I think is an rank insignia of an colonel of Ottoman Army of the period of Crimean War.

Am I wrong? Any other idea?

Hi Dave, 

Here are two other gendarmes in winter uniform.

Hi Kallarati, you are not right. This is not the Freedom Order, but the Red Star Order.

Regards, Artan

My sincere compliments. I hope to do something similar in Tirana for the albanian medals.

Hallo to all,

Hi Bob,

It is not RPSH: Republika Popullore e Shqiperise, but PPSH: Partia e Punes e Shqiperise (The Labour Party of Albania). This does it mean that the badge is of 1961.

Regards, Artan

Dear Usair,

The first piece is a tip for cords of uniform. You can see a russian imperial eagle in it. I post here an clasic type of tips.

Artan

Dear all,

I find recently this medal in Albania. It is no rare to find here in Albania this medal in bronze, but this piece is in white metal. Can anyone help me to explain this. It is an offical variant, or what?

A very interesting Exhibition, Paja. My compliments and thank to put it here.

I stayed for almost an hour looking and touching each piece.

Some time ago, the daughter of Duncan, contact the National Museum here in Tirana, to done at the Museum the effects of his father. I'm interested in it and I pushed the administration to follow the procedures. Finally they arrived in Albania. They are amazing objects, incredibly conserved!

Artan
