Regency Period 1944-1945 3rd Class Cross Notice the ribbon is for the republican Period. I suspect it was awarded in the transitional period between the two periods

Can anyone recognise the maker mark Regards

At the end of WW2, after Bulgaria switched, sides and went into war with Germany, a Republican model was created with some changes to reflect the new situation. The order was given in the period of 1945-1947 and then it was revoked Here is the 2nd and 3rd Classes.

This is regency Model 1944-1945 after the death of Tzar Boris III
