    Only seen this medal (variation) in the War Museum in Vlora (great little museum!) and in the collection of an important collector in Tirana, but after years of looking i finally got one myself as well (of all places, found it cheap on eBay!).

    Not that spectacular in design or quality, but nice to fill this gap.

    Hey Bob!

    I am glad you got this rare medal indeed. But the suspension looks like it belongs to 3rd order red star. anyhow it is better than nothing like myself for example

    regards

    Hey - yes, you're right now that you mention it. Didn't take time to consider the suspension when i got it, was just focus on the medal itself (although the bent paperclip to connect to two should have been a giveaway).

    Now if i can just find a cheap type 1 hero on ebay haha

    It is basicly the same medal. After communism the new democratic government kept the continuation of this order, used the same stock medals by removing the sides and the star in the middle. In many years of collecting I have managed to find two medals Class II and Class III of this order of the communist era. All were changed and stars removed

    regards
