      Gentlemen,

       

      Major source of information on medals from Albania has indicated that it is possible to find out through research the names of people awarded these numbered Skanderbeg but no further research likely (for the moment) in archives due to sensitive nature as a result of the fact that people awarded these are still alive (and so are their anti-communist enemies).

       

      This is a major breakthrough in Albanian awards and offers tantalizing prospects for future archival research.

       

      In the meantime, this obviously also raises questions... are there also numbered first/second class Skanderbeg's?

       

      Current standing of numbered 3rd class:

      - highest number seen 802

      - lowest number seen 378

      HELLO BOB. MY EXEMPLAR IS NUMBERED 376, SEE IT IN THE PHOTO. IT IS IN NEW CONDITION.

    2. Just to keep this thread alive with Wied era stuff, back in 2005, an eBay seller had several pieces of BE insignia in a large red case that looked like it could have been an award case, but who knows. I saved off the photos for my own reference purposes, so I thought I could share them here. I don't recall who had this set of insignia otherwise I would give them credit here...

      THIS SET IS BOUGHT BY AN ALBANIAN COLLECTOR FROM GJIROKASTRA.
