Order of Skanderbeg
After the occupation of Albania in 1939, the King of Italy also became King of Albania and therefore Grand Master of the Albanian Orders.

The Order of Skanderbeg was awarded to Albanians and Italians residing in that country. It was divided into five classes identified on the service ribbon by small helmets of Skanderbeg in gold or silver.

Note the fasces, the circle of Savoy knots with the inscription "FERT". Also marked on back with Silver 925 and Torino stamp.
