Bob Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Eric - while waiting for your updated edition, do you know if there is also a 2nd class of this order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Schena Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Hi Bob:Nope - there's just one class of the order and one class of medal. The medal is interesting in that there are two versions: one with a reverse inscription (PER SHERBIM TE MIRE POPULLIT) and one without. The order, BTW, was established during the restructuring on 18 January 1965.Cheers,Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Received a silver colored one in the mail - will post scan over the weekend.I think there really might be 2 classes (or even a 3rd?) to this order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Not a high quality scan but trust me, this one is completely silver colored and - despite scan perhaps giving wrong impression due to light effect - it is not just a faded bronze / gold colored one - 2 classes (or more) after all?!!??!

Eric Schena Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 That's really interesting! None of the regulations I have on hand indicate that there are multiple classes of this order. I wonder if this was a manufacturing variation or perhaps the finish rubbed off or something (hard to tell w/o seeing it in person).If you can read Albanian, here's the text from Law No. 6133 (P?r titujt e nderit dhe dekoratat e Republik?s Popullore Socialiste t? Shqip?ris?) from 1980 that specifies the honors system and this law does specify classes if there are multiple classes:Neni 44Urdhri dhe Medalja ?P?r sh?rbim t? mir? popullit?Urdhri dhe Medalja ?P?r sh?rbim t? mir? popullit? u jepet kolektivave punonj?se dhe punonj?sve t? tregtis?, t? sh?ndet?sis?, t? komunales, t? transportit, t? PT, t? arkave t? kursimit dhe punonj?sve t? tjer?, q? kan? lidhje me sh?rbimet, p?r pritje shum? t? mir? t? popullit dhe p?r sh?rbim t? shpejt? e shembullor ndaj tij, p?r organizim dhe drejtim shum? t? mir? t? pun?s n? sektorin ku punojn?, p?r zbatim n? m?nyr? t? p?rsosur t? t? gjitha rregullave higjieno-sanitare n? vendin ku punojn?, p?r kujdes t? madh n? ruajtjen dhe mir?mbajtjen e pasuris? socialiste dhe p?r tejkalimin e planit t? shtetit n? t? gjith? treguesit tekniko-ekonomik?.

Bob Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 as far as i can tell... two variations... and two classes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 Just received a documented medal. With text on reverse and vertical pin.Showing the document here. Translation: "Distinguished himself for a speedy and responsible service towards the people, and for a good quality work". In other words... not very specific.Also not clear if a "leather"-like document is missing or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Translation: "Distinguished himself for a speedy and responsible service towards the people, and for a good quality work". In other words... not very specific.Also not clear if a "leather"-like document is missing or not.looking at the way the award is stated could probably mean that the person worked in one of the following state owned store, shop depo (all stores were state owned) or in one of the offices where documents for people were proccesed like id certificate or marriage services.nice document. I am collecting more and more documents nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belaruski Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I finally found a silver order and Bob's right it's definately a finished award and there's no sign of any gold finish having worn away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albania Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Sorry to say but this order existed only in one class - the silver one is factory defect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belaruski Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I don't mind that! It's nice to get things like this from time to time. Like the gold Order of Bravery someone posted here and the gold centred Skanderbeg 1st classes by Prawema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
