Orders, Decorations and Medals of Albania
Acknowledgements, Links and ReferencesAcknowledgements The assistance of Eric Shena for his wonderful book and generosity in sharing information and pictures is acknowledged, as is Lukasz Gaszewski - having visited this site he kindly sent me an e-mail packed with information about Albanian awards, and followed this up with a collection of images to enhance these pages. Erich Lenz, Emmanuel Halleux and Kris Johnston (of JKMilitaria) have also sent me pictures, and Erich was good enough to send me a copy of his OMSA article. Thierry Jacquemot sent several pictures of Orders he collected in the Balkans. Grateful thanks to Medal-Medaille, Morton & Eden, Carsten Zeige, Spink&Son, and San Giorgio Auction House who have permitted the use of images from their catalogues.
