    9. Dear friends, Today I find up these pieces of uniform. The person who gave me, had the complete uniform till 10 days ago. Then he called to give me all, but before calling me he has seen that the jacket and pants were full of moths. Solution: has ripped the pants bands and cut two embroidered pieces and the other party has thrown away. Then he called me and gave me what was left !!! Can you tell me what types of uniform can be, and of what country? Thanks, A.
    10. Hi Bob, It is not RPSH: Republika Popullore e Shqiperise, but PPSH: Partia e Punes e Shqiperise (The Labour Party of Albania). This does it mean that the badge is of 1961. Regards, Artan
    11. Dear all, Meleq Frasheri was an albanian officer under prinz zu Wied. He continued his career later for the albanian state till '30-es.

He served in the A.H. army during WWI. Can anyone help me about the uniform: rank, branch, medals, etc? Regards, Artan

    20. Hi Rex, I see just now this beautiful piece. It is an M.37 belt for officers parade uniform. Was used from 1937 to 1939, and during the italian occupation only for the parade uniform of the Royal guard. Regards, Artan
    21. Beautiful badges Belaruski. They are for the remembrance of the same event, Congress of Permeti, 24.05.1944. The silk cocarde is of 1964 (20 aniversary) and the aluminium badge is for the 40 anniversary, in 1984. The delegate has put them together just to not lose. I post here a photo of 1969, with the cocarde of 25 years of Congress of Permeti. Regards, Artan Përmeti Congress: An antifascist national liberation congress held on May 24, 1944, in Përmeti (Përmet), Albania. The congress laid the basis for popular democratic rule and elected the Antifascist National Liberation Council of Albania, the supreme legislative and executive body of Albania. It also formed the Antifascist National Liberation Committee of Albania, which was vested with the functions of a provisional government.
