Bob Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 No pics (yet). I find this one to be rather ugly but perhaps I'll change my mind when I have a nice first class one in the palm of my hands:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Schena Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 No pics (yet). I find this one to be rather ugly but perhaps I'll change my mind when I have a nice first class one in the palm of my hands:)I kind of like it compared to the Red Banner of Labor You'll find they are rather substantial in hand (they are made in three pieces) and have a nice heft to them. Here's a later Albanian made 2nd class example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) Just to demonstrate -- as if further evidence were needed -- that I have limited focus and phaleristic compass. (And surprised by the weight of the Order of Labor; very robust!) Order of Labor type 2.3; Medal of Labor type 1.2.

Eric Schena Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 The Medal of Labor was one of my first Albanian medals I ever got and it really did hook me into the country's decorations and history. And coincidentally, it, too, is a type 1 var 2 like Ed's above. This order has always been a personal favorite of mine. I have a very small wish list of Albanian decorations nowadays and an IKOM made Order of Labor is on it. Great stuff, Ed! Cheers,Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belaruski Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I finally picked up a Mennica made Order of Labour for a reasonable price! Apparently only a few hundred made? This one is a 2nd class and the quality is very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallarati Heroik Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) "TIRANA" VS "OLD VERSION" LEFT MEDAL IS FROM LAME BOOK. "PRAWEMA" VS "OLD VERSION" FIRST MEDAL IS FROM LAME BOOK. I THINK VARIANTS ARE MOST RAREST PIECES. HAPPY COLLECTING. Edited May 28, 2017 by Kallarati Heroik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
