Belaruski Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 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!

Eric Schena Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 elvis cenka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
