Zaim Qyteza replied to TeaRex's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
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 -
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. -
Dear All, Now I am discussing with myself. Looking on the net, I find this jacket of the Ottoman Imperial Guard. In its collar, you can see an embroidered 12-pointed rosette. It is something similar with the second bronze rosete posted from me. Regards, Artan

Hi, The production of the old type of uniform was stoped in 1993, because the uniform M.91 was the old type M75 to which were added the shoulder straps. Regards, A. -

Albania 1970s-80s field uniform collar patches?
Zaim Qyteza replied to elephant12's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
After the abolition of the ranks (1966), for the officials was very dangerous to keep in the wardrobe the old uniforms. Could be accused "for nostalgia". Some of them told me that they had destroyed all the old uniforms for this reason. This is the reason of the extreme difficulty to find albanian uniforms of pre-1966. Regards, A. -

After 1966 ( the year of ranks abolishing) there was no differences between different corps. They wear all the same uniforms and hats. Unique diference: the collar patches of M.66. This unique difference was abolished with the M.75 uniform, which unify all in red patches. Regards, A. -
