Partisan Star, 1st Class

Fellow collector states this one is Albanian Partisan Star 1st class.

Note similarities to Yugoslavian Partisan Star.

There was a 1st class for sale on eBay a few weeks back for $850 but no one bid on it.

Even though it's rare there's barely any demand for Albanian items.

Rusty,

I agree there's little demand for Albanian awards, but there was low interest in Bulgarian, as well as in Mongolian and Yugoslavian awards few years ago - and look what happened recently with the prices.

Collectors look for new fields to collect and will collect whatever country looks cool and is affordable.

With Soviet items being out of reach - I'd say these exotic countries have a chance. I mean the set I posted was offered for about $500 - what rare Soviet item can you buy for $500? Not even a common Lenin...

I agree with you completely.

I remember the Sukhe-Bator being offered to me for $500 and I thought that it was kool but bought Soviet items instead. I should have bought it...
Then again, I bought my Kutuzov 2 with that money so I'm not complaining. I didn't pay $500 for my Kutuzov 2 (just in case )

The Albanian Partisan Stars can't be that rare or common but just like the numbered Mongolian Red Banners there seems to be a small stash being sold off!

I'm being offered 2 sets right now at $400 and there was the set on eBay...

It's rare set, but for some reason I've seen several for sale during last month.

I don't know what to say.
