Bob Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Can we see the back? Just out of curiosity!Sorry, just stored the scanner (living very small while my new house is being fixed up - everything is in boxes).Nothing special on the reverse though. Flat metal with a pin. No marks. It's a very small badge.
Bob Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Called "Albania badge READY FOR WORK AND DEFENCE I class 50's" by the seller but have to check Eric's PDF bible
albania Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Sorry, just stored the scanner (living very small while my new house is being fixed up - everything is in boxes).Nothing special on the reverse though. Flat metal with a pin. No marks. It's a very small badge.the figure of the soldier in that position doesnt show to be albanian also the emblem isnt quite familiar. however everything is possible.
albania Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Called "Albania badge READY FOR WORK AND DEFENCE I class 50's" by the seller but have to check Eric's PDF bible the acronyms stand for BGPM " Behu Gati per Pune e Mbrojtje" the translation is correct
Eric Schena Posted January 29, 2008 Author Posted January 29, 2008 I knew Elvis would know this I'll have to make some minor corrections to the badges section...but this is a GOOD thing because it means one more question has been answered. This is precisely why I love this forum. This type of information would have been nigh impossible for me to get just a few years ago.
Bob Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Another variation (early, given the low number on reverse) of previously shown pinAlso, a little badge "30 years communist authority 1945-1975"

VOLUME CARRIERS and The society of the medal carriers for the LOYALTY TO THE HOMELAND, /Albanian commemorative volume/ held the I congress in NIS on the 8.VII 1939 and on that occasion all the participants were given signs of the Albanian commemorative volume carriers.

jeffskea Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 This is a small collection of badges I recently bought, some of them I recognize on this thread already. I tried to translate the words on each so that is all I know about them. From left to right top to bottom: 1. Monument of Mother Albania badge 2. Badge for Distinguished Students 3. Badge for Distinguished Employees 4. Albanian Democratic Front (FDSH) Distinguished Activist Badge 5. Skenderbeu Badge 6. Albanian Flag pin 7. Red Star cap badge Most of the pins are made of very thin, cheaper looking metal. The last one is my 15th Anniversary of the People's Army badge with the Pobeda Factory, Moscow, Russia screwback. It is nicer quality with enamels. Jeff
Bob Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) Just got this, a surprising tiny badge for the Albanian state travel/tourist org "Albturist" Edited December 22, 2011 by Bob
slavogorje Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Let's by default make this thread into the "badge" thread then. Will inevitably contain mainly undocumented items. 5 badges (right to left): - Distinguished Artist Badge - Distinguished Military Cadet Badge - Distinguished Soldier Badge - unknown - 40th Liberation Anniversary Badge Apart from the first one, generally not "high quality" (i.e. a cheapish flimsy feel / weight) although the design isn't half bad. the "unknown" is a badge for the workers on the light industry (MIL stands for ministria e industrise se lehte - ministry of light industry
Belaruski Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 I just picked up this lovely Albanian peace badge. Nice brass and enamels. My interest in Albanian medals etc. has just kicked in again!
Belaruski Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Another Albanian badge, this one for the 20th anniversary of the conference at Permetit. The large ribbon is marked for a delegate so I'm presuming this was given to delegates at the 1974 party conference.
Belaruski Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) And the badge itself.. Edited August 14, 2012 by Belaruski
Zaim Qyteza Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 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.
Belaruski Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Thanks for the information! I bought it as one 'medal' and my bad maths didn't spot the 10 year difference! Is this something that would only have been given to one of the original delegates?
Belaruski Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 2 more variations on the sports/ ready for work and defence badge.
Belaruski Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 My ever growing collection of Albanian 'tinnies'. Some nice ones here even the lower quaility badges. The 9th congress of the Party of Labour (top left) is particularly nice! Also note the badge celebrating 100 years of the birth of Stalin.

Zaim Qyteza Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 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
