Bob Posted April 8, 2007 Author Posted April 8, 2007 ORDER FOR PATRIOTIC ACHIEVEMENTS 1ST CLASS DIFFERENT FROM THE BOOK (NO CORNERS) Certainly the weirdest looking ring attachment I've ever seen!
Ulsterman Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 Hmmm-really interesting medal. What was it awarded fr-party service or general service to the nation?

Bob Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 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. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_04_2011/post-679-0-47984800-1302593047.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_04_2011/post-679-0-44431100-1302593059.jpg

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

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
reichsrommel Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Some reference said the round one without conners is post-communist Alabanian Order “For Patriotic Achievements”. Is this right?
albania Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 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 elvis
reichsrommel Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Here are 2 classes collection from one of my friend's collection in China: p.s, once we Chinese and Albanian people has deep friendship, right?
