Bob Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 Here a different variation (?) named "Meritorious Artist" when I purchased it. Supposedly also established on October 26, 1960. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Schena Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Hi Bob:Great stuff you are showing here The decoration in post 2 is actually the title of Teacher of the People and is ranked higher than Artist of the People. It was established in 1950 - the earliest ones by statute were made of .800 fine silver but at some point were changed to base metal. I would imagine that occurred in January 1965, as that is when the Albanian government did a complete overhaul of the awards system. The recipients of the other titles you show here when originally awarded were only given a certificate, but again most likely in 1965, actual badges were handed out. It's odd that the two Teacher awards (Teacher of the People and Meritorious Teacher) would have a badge and the others would not. But there are tons of these oddities in Albanian decorations. Cheers,Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belaruski Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I just got this meritorious teacher title and it's interesting to see the difference in quality between it and other Albanian made awards. I need to keep an eye out for the artist ones now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
