    Hero of the People / Hero of Socialist Labor

    Just got another gold Hero Star (cased) in the mail today. Love the 'weight' of these, but really sad that they were not numbered or (in my case, when I acquired it) did not come with a document.

    Anybody with any update on the potential for research in the Tirana archives?

    I'll be visiting Tirana again in April - looking forward to it!

    Bob do you know if the suspension is also made from gold - or is it brass?
