    Hi all!

    I am VERY new to collecting Albanian awards. My background is n Soviet stuff, and as such am wary of fakes. Does anyone know of any fakes being made yet? Or is demand/prices and information too low for this?

    I would love to think of this as a safe area for the newcomer!

    Hi Belaruski and welcome!

    I am not aware of any fakes of communist era Albanian decorations. I have, however, seen a few Pr?wema made Orders of Freedom that have had the screwplates replaced with IKOM ones and sold as IKOM made decorations, but I can't tell if that was done intentionally or accidentally.

    For now, it seems to be safe. Let's hope it stays that way.

    Cheers,

    Eric

    hello again! I am located in Albania and I have come accross hundreds of medals and havent found any fakes yet. some of the socialist awards were made in artistike migjeni factory but that factory stopped existing when communism fell, so albania cant produce any fakes because all models were destroyed. ikom and pravema are prestigous companies so they wouldnt continue to produce.

    best regards
