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.

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.

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

Dear all, Meleq Frasheri was an albanian officer under prinz zu Wied. He continued his career later for the albanian state till '30-es. Fortunately, he was so exhibitionist to do a picture in any possible occasion. I find today another picture of him with the officer of Black Eagle order in his austrian uniform. He served in the A.H. army during WWI. Can anyone help me about the uniform: rank, branch, medals, etc? Regards, Artan
