Does anyone know what factory codes Albanian uses/used?
I can't find anything on their specific numbers.

Joe,
According to the notes I have from a friend (now deceased) Albania was supplied with arms by Russia until the late 1950s. In 1957 the Chinese offered funds and assistance to set up a modern arms industry and supplied arms and munitions of Chinese manufacture until three Albanian factories came on line. The factory codes were simply numbers 1, 2 and 3. Factory 1 produced weapons from 1962, Factory 2 produced Explosives and Propellants from 1965, and Factory 3 produced ammunition. It would seem that manufacture ceased in the early 1990's.

Has anyone seen the KMP on an item?
