In 1971 he receives a 10 Year MVR Long Service Medal. Note the conspicuous absence (again) of a 15 & 20 year service Medal; despite what we will see shortly. The Ricks believe we are starting to see an interesting pattern within the MVR. -

At 22 Years old he was issued a (blank on dues) "Komsomol" Booklet. Perhaps to signify he had done this when he was much younger? -

I don't really care for the color or "look" of that cross. The "wearer's copy" thing with this award is a little too prevalent for my personal tastes. Having said that, the bar itself looks very well made and probably original. I'd really like to see much larger images of the bar as well as the front/back of the GMVK

Bulgaria MVR Senior Sergeant
Stogieman replied to Stogieman's topic in Central & Eastern European States
The Red Banner that came with the set is under 10K, which if memory serves, was in the first big batch of bestowals. Unfortunately, even if research becomes available, the only confirmation would be of the award(s) shown, if that... possibly of rank.... there's no name on the pix :>( -
No name, came with all the medals shown and the Excellent MVR Employee Badge. Original to the man in the picture? We'll never know unless someday the Red Banner becomes traceable, In any event, one of my few MVR images! (No wonder he looks so unhappy... A Senior Sargeant in the People's Militia (only) at his age!)
