Thanks for your answer, Graf. I have two books of Bulgarian decorations. -Bulgarian Badges (Dietrich Riemer) -Bulgaria Orders and medals (Todor Petrov) In Petrov's book, there is not even a photo of the Military Merit Order VI class. Little information. I know the Ilieff´s page, very interesting. Best regards

Is there any way to distinguish?...Maybe for the lion?

Ferdinand period ? Best regards.
