Stogieman Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Rick Research Sayeth: "In Eric Schena’s book on Hoxha regime awards, this is #31—the Medal of Labor (Medalje I Punës), Type2 on Type c suspension, so fairly late (1980s?) but not near the end of the Communist dictatorship. Eric illustrates a Type1 Medal on earlier Type a suspension, which was clearly modeled after Enver Hoxha himself. Obviously this later type on the final two smaller Type c and Type d ribbons was a completely new medal die as well." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 "This fellow looks more like a generic Anthony Quinn. Even the ribbon has become coarser and more like some sort of clothing-weave. No Albanian Medals found here (our local population was entirely Catholic and got out by the 1920s) for the past five years—and I’ve been LOOKING. Now got 5 all at once at my local show. I blame Eric." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
