Dear all, This is the last piece I find in Albania. Reading the very interesting OTTOMAN UNIFORMS of Chris Flaherty, I think is an rank insignia of an colonel of Ottoman Army of the period of Crimean War. Am I wrong? Any other idea? Regards, A.

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.

Albania Albanian badges
Zaim Qyteza replied to Eric Schena's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
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 -
Albania- Wied era medals
Zaim Qyteza replied to James Hoard's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
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 -
Dear Usair, The first piece is a tip for cords of uniform. You can see a russian imperial eagle in it. I post here an clasic type of tips. Regards, Artan

Some time ago, the daughter of Duncan, contact the National Museum here in Tirana, to done at the Museum the effects of his father. I'm interested in it and I pushed the administration to follow the procedures. Finally they arrived in Albania. They are amazing objects, incredibly conserved! Regards, Artan -

Albania Albanian badges
Zaim Qyteza replied to Eric Schena's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
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.
