Bob Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Here is a Zog era Officer grade badge. It comes cased, and used to belong to Bilal Nivica, Head of the Albanian Gendarme. Some googling to do on this. Sadly no documents:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Ignoring the pin, it appears to be a 3 piece award: - a circular "back" - the helmet part on top soldered onto it - a circular "front" incl. the enameled pieces It feels somewhat fragile so am amazed it is in one piece after more than 80 years! The case is custom fit with an opening in which it snuggly sits. Edited February 15, 2010 by Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
