Question about Albanian Hero of Socialist Labour

[johnprice]

I want to know about how many people rewarded Albanian Hero of Socialist Labour and their names and their documents.

Thank you .

You want many things!

I guess a reasonable guesstimate of nr of awarding could be made by taking a multiple of the nr of 'regular' Hero of Albania titles which were awarded (the nr is mentioned elsewhere in a thread - i vaguely recall it was around 100).

John mean Hero of socialist labour.

[Bob]

Yes, and without accurate data we'd need to guesstimate

The nr of regular Hero's is around 100

My guess is the nr of Hero of Socialist Labour would be 400-600

Hi all,

There is a list of 170 decorations of "Hero i Popullit" and another of about 485 decorations of "Hero i Punes Socialiste". 

There is no "depot stock" for these decorations.
From those data, a discount of about 20% should be made, which is given only the diploma not accompanied by the respective medal. Another discount of about 20%, must be made for melted medals.
Thus, I believe that there should be about 100 People's Hero and about 350 Socialist Labor Hero.

Regards,

Zaim

(ps. attach the collection of a friend of mine)

Great post / pic!

"From those data, a discount of about 20% should be made, which is given only the diploma not accompanied by the respective medal. " - any idea of why this would happen (eg. posthumous awardings?)

Quite an impressive collection your friend has. I have a few Hero's but ever was able to see that many Hero of Labor stars which always surprised me as more of those would have been awarded.

This other thread may also help

Sure wish we had a SEPERATE dedicated section for Albanian items... like we use to have years ago!

And another one to link
