Dear Artan, What you say about the exile awards being just diplomas now makes sense. In the Izzet Said Khourchid group of Orders and decorations (he was a Lebanese diplomat) Morton and Eden 3 July 2008, lot 71, there was a warrant for the Commander's neck badge of the Order of Skanderbeg, Alexandria 19 January 1952 but no insignia. Concerning the Italian occupation are you saying that unissued Zog pieces were still awarded, even though there was the Italian occupation variety of the various national orders? Or am I completely barking up the wrong tree. All the best, Paul
