Albania Order of Skanderbeg

[Bob]

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,

Artan

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!?

[Belaruski]

..and the back.

[Belaruski]

Another angle. It's all very nicely made and the gold colour is consistent, it hasn't been painted on later!

COMPLETE SET OF IKOM ZAGREB.

SOLID SILVER.

If I'm not mistaken 1st class is made out of .950 silver (silver fineness hallmark - rooster in square).

[paja]

"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

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

[Kallarati Heroik]

Holes are human done.
