Bob Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Soon to be in my possession, 4 different Honorary Title's.First "Distinguished Scientist & Technician" - supposedly established January 18 1965
Bob Posted June 17, 2006 Author Posted June 17, 2006 Two (variations?)...First - "Artist of the people" - established October 26, 1960
Bob Posted June 17, 2006 Author Posted June 17, 2006 Here a different variation (?) named "Meritorious Artist" when I purchased it. Supposedly also established on October 26, 1960.
Eric Schena Posted June 17, 2006 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
Bob Posted June 17, 2006 Author Posted June 17, 2006 And here a different variation of the meritorious teacher - cased (original?).
Belaruski Posted November 23, 2012 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!
