Bob Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 That's a long motivation - last time I read such a long sentence was when I was translating ancient greek in high school :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Just got another gold Hero Star (cased) in the mail today. Love the 'weight' of these, but really sad that they were not numbered or (in my case, when I acquired it) did not come with a document. Anybody with any update on the potential for research in the Tirana archives? I'll be visiting Tirana again in April - looking forward to it!

Kallarati Heroik Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Complete body of medal is made of solid gold, even suspension. Complete medal is gold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbrandon Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Thx! Thats very interesting - as this is IMHO quite unusual for suspension to be in gold too. But thats quite great also 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
