Hallo! I thought about Ricks words about making a database of the Honor cross markings. So I played with my scanner for a couple of minutes and here is the result, maybe it could look like this , a little practice and I think we could make a fantastic reference library of makers number 3 is non combatant and the others are Black crosses for Parents and Widows 300 dpi and 400 dpi Chris

Hi, To answer Ricks question about Kaplitz I cancelled my New Years celebration and went google instead well not really, the clock in Sweden now shows 11.oo tuesday. I found Kaplitz and to my suprise it was named Kaplice before 1938 when Germany walked in and renamed it Kaplitz It was Sudeten in German, so this is where one of the so vcalled "flower-medals" came from Another interesting papaer from a common medal.

Hi again, just one more thing befor we all opens up the Champagne bottles.... Does anyone knows how many know makers there is of the Honor Crosses? I have about 114 different markings noted , but I iam quite sure the real number is far higher I have to count my different medals but I think I have about 30 by different makers so I am not among the big boys there.

Bulgaria Bulgarian Medal to Foreigner
Bayoswede replied to Bayoswede's topic in Central & Eastern European States
Thanks Rick and Ed I will start looking through yhe net, maybe he have left some traces after him Christer -
Hi all, I just bought a Bulgarian Medal from 1981, quite common "Bulgaria 1300 years" The medal for foreigner BUT this is complete with Award book! Normaly this medal came with a paper booklet, but when awarded to non-bulgarians they got a more Order-book type of booklet. But now to my question If I read the name right this is the man who got the medal: Province Doctor Chans Baum ? Does anybody got any idea of what country he could be from? I suppose it would be an communist country in 1981. East Germany? Mongolia? any suggestions? Have a nice weekend Pics from seller Christer
