    Hello,

    I would like to add two pictures of the numbered Skanderbeg III Class, recently added to my collection.

    It is made of silver; its measurements are:

    heigth: mm 48,0

    width: mm 47,8

    Award no. 3444.

    Best wishes,

    Enzo

    Enzo - are you sure this is silver? I just noticed it has two rivets... all the other silver IKOM numbered ones I've seen or in my collection do not have those rivets. Combined with the numbering which is an outlier (high as well as style), I suspect this one raises some questions.

    Dear all,

    I thought that the third grade of Scanderbeg order numbered, existed until 999, but ... I bought a few days ago in Tirana this exemplar.

    Regards,

    Here is my new Order of Skanderbeg 2nd Class, and according to Eric Shena's reference book looks like the type 2, var. 3 by PRAWEMA.

    I just got this Skanderbeg 1st class today, A nice Prawema screwback, but the central medallion is gold too. Is this a known variation, common/scarce etc. or a mistake!?

    "Ordes and Medals of the Communist Albania" (Ордена и медали коммунистической Албании) contains a mistake regarding silver hallmarks.

    Description given bellow is wrong.

    It should be like this:
    Rooster in square = 950/1000
    Rooster in pentagon = 900/1000
    Rooster in hexagon = 800/1000

    Here's a page from the Official Gazette (Службени лист) with Yugoslav hallmarks, small silver hallmarks with rooster are in the fourth raw. 
    Anyway very nice set, my congrats!

    I recently acquired this 3rd Class with a screwback that has 3 holes in it. I have not seen one like this before.
