Albanian mothers got a pretty good deal when you compare these awards with the Soviet equivalents.

Hi Soviet:

That's actually a nicer earlier made piece, probably by our friends at Pr?wema in the DDR. The soldered ring at the top of the medal and the pin affixed to the suspension by that round disk being the tip offs (that and they are better made than their later counterparts).

Cheers,

Eric
