I found this albanian visor hat on military headgear ...

Somebody can tell why the color of the fabric is not really the same ? This one seems to be green ...

How are the new albanian uniforms after 1991 ?

Thanks for your answers !

If rank insignias were abolished in 1967, how on earth did they distinguish the ranks? I can't see how it would make anything more efficient.

They were not after efficiency but "equality". Albania was the only European country to side with China during the latter's acrimonious split with the Soviets, and did many things the "Chinese way" in the decades that followed, including the stripping of uniform rank displays during the nutty period, where literal interpretation of Marxist ideas reached absurd (and often disastrous) proportions.

That certificate is very important. It was given in Vucitern, Kosovo today. It shows that the certificate was given by the 6 th Albanian Division who fought for the liberation of Kosovo, Montenegro and Southern Bosnia!
