Is the Albanian eagle emblem in any way related to the Byzantine eagle ?

Also, could that 'helmet' be a phrygian cap ? Bogdan | Talk 16:00, 30 May 2004 (UTC)

Hmm, not sure, but I doubt it. The double headed eagle has been seen in many places. In the case of Albania, it came from the time of Skanderbeg, and his clan's flag. The helmet also comes from him. There is a legend/story that once he was helped by a goat find a path through the mountains and escape the Turkish armies, so that's where that comes from. Dori | Talk 04:01, Jun 1, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Emblem vs. CoA

Why is this called "emblem", and not "Coat of arms"? This is not like France, Belarus or other soviet emblems that took the place of the coats of arms. ES Vic (talk) 17:05, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Not sure. This is clearly a coat of arms. I'd recommend a move.--Eva bd 19:17, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Albania state emblem.svg

Question copied from User talk:Sgt bilko: Image:Albania state emblem.svg has a yellow border. Is that border part of the coat of arms, or is it just a graphical nicety? --Palnatoke 08:58, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
