Saddly I van't help you... What makes you think it could eb an albanian fabric?

Hello, thse variation are made of solid silver for all classes, or bronze ?

Thanks Victor! Excellent info! So basically any that have that raised base at the bottom of the screw post are bad. Are there any pointers re: ones with the pin backs or are they not faked (yet)?

hello, I would check the colors: this line of fakes do not respect the exact enamel colors: the red bends towards a strawberry red, with pinkish tones. The real enamels show a deep red blood color, with sometimes orange tones.

See the total absence of patina, as the "gold" finishing is not of the same chemical nature, and because it is clearer.

Another point: check the enamel finishing: the enamel must perfectly flows to the level of the letters, because the Mnetnii Dvor worker polished to the perfection the enamel. Look at the first Ukraine SSR badge picture, the one numbered 34: you see sorts of "waves" of non-polished enamel around the letters. This is definitively not the finishing of any soviet mint (nor the estonian soviet mint!).

I only have a couple of albanian generals photographies, and before 1952, they show a red (?) velvet collar, but a totally different embroidery of oak-leaves-style...

I will be very happy to have an hint or a contact to find and by some of these booklets. I travel on czech, polish, hungarian and german internet, but no yugoslavian stuff at all.

hello,

be carefull, on the first picture th chin strap is an ukrainian type, and the admirals visor caps are asian reproductions!

hello, do you know pictures of these uniforms actually worn?

hello, even if these orders don't generate much interest from collectors , I do not believe such an order proposed at 200 or 300usd is genuine... a good friend of mine travelled in VietNam and everything he observed left him the intimate feeling a LOT of things were faked.

hello, this must be of the upmost rarity, isn't it?

it looks correct, not much wear traces, modern suspension.

hello, your scan is too little... it should be centered on the only medal please. We can't see the surface pebbling.

many thanks for all theses pictures! How does the interior look like?

these are the most known parties. Of course the game is not ended and I lack other knowns parties: Yugoslavia and Albania about Europe, Mongolia, North Korea, and China about Asia.

Please show yours pieces!

East Germany

Romania

Bulgaria

Hungary

Tchecoslovakia

Poland

soviet union...

I gathered nearly all european communist party membership booklets.

From left to right: Tchécoslovakia, GDR, USSR, Romania, Bulgaria and Poland.

I don't remeber were I put my hungarian lot but I found one my old pictures.

asking suitable and correct photos to an ebay dealer is often a struggle...

I'm still waiting for the 2nd volume!

Only one default: the hiden visages on photos. But I can understand the law is more severe on this side of Atlantic than on the other.

Beyond all criterias, this book is RELIABLE. And of course it worked perfectly when I authentified a small group of stasi diplomas I gathered.

One of the great books of phaleristics, next to the Mac Daniels, Durov and Bartel's books!

hello Ksc, I believe I konw this book, but could you be kind enough to show us a cover scan please?

wouldn't it be linked to the VDNKh? I can't remember if Kiev had its own VDNKh park... or if it is linked to the Pavillon of Ukraine in the Moscow VDNKh.
