Hi to all, As per Law 10.01.1928, the Order of Bravery (Urdheri i Trimerise) has 3 clases and the Medal of Bravery in 3 clases. Order: Hero, Theror, Trim. Medal: Gold, Silver, Bronze. I the same law is specified: -HERO, lst class, neck badge & star -THEROR, 2nd class, neck badge -TRIM, 3rd class, medal, 5 cm over the the belt. The neck badge and the Trim class have a green ribbon and the three classes of medal have a red ribbon. I think that the Rumbullaku has some wrong informations, including the image of Trim class that is a fantasy design. An attached, image of the original article of law, with the denomination of the different classes of the order. Thank you. Artan

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? Regards, Artan
