nice document

Thanks for the information

Nice

Very nice Group I love it

Yes, I noticed the Officer on the very right of the bottom raw is wearing 4th Class 2nd Grade of the Bulgarian Order for Bravery, I wonder whether this photo is some kind of reunion , because all officers have very close ranks Apart from couple of Majors no highest ranks I can see

It is difficult from this view of the picture to guess the Rank It looks like junior Officer Rank , however not sure Cheers

Hi Gordon, Did you have any luck with this medal I do not see it any more on eMedals site, even in the sold items Section Cheers

I "borrowed" this photo from the Soviet Union section Browsing at the photo i discovered that the officer on the very right of the lowest raw has Fourth Class second Grade of the Bulgarian Order for Bravery Interesting fact is he is the only one with a Bulgarian Award. Since there is not a lot of information about the photo my wildest guess is that this Group photo is taken after they receive other Awards..and they are from different units.. or some kind of reunion

It is good idea only if the helmet is in the hands of JeffV Otherwise the dealer/seller could be reluctant to do it is something is not OK

Still not a sign of this strange Officer on the seller site

Good Luck Gordon, I had my experience with eMedals. Not the best I can say. Regards Graf

Hi Gordon, I looked at the eMedals sale They provide information that does not appear on the page provided They need to provide picture of the next page as those listed bellow If you consider buying this medal you have to request picture of the next page with the name of the award and the dates and the number if eMedals include the Number and the Date they need to list picture of this page if they do not have this page the booklet could be from any other award and might not mach with the award for sale

Hi Gordon, Thank you for the post We need the next pages for the list of the awards On those two pages we have: on the left - from top to bottom it says place for a picture and then a stamp stating "Valid without picture" and round stamp with ltext "People's' Republic of Bulgaria ..and in the brackets on the very bottom text says "Signature" but not signed by the awarded person on the right page is the name of the awarded person Ivan Georgiev Shmugarski Usually those not signed and without picture booklets are for low level awards Here is a Booklet for Captain who received Fourth Class Second Grade Order for Bravery during WW2 However the practice for list of the awards on the next pages of the booklets (the picture on the right) remained the same after WW2

Yes It was same as the Soviet Union practice.three were booklets that listed all awards All awards, especially the high ones, came with individual Award book/booklet in two sizes Big for the for the Stars of Hero of People's Republic of Bulgaria and Hero of Socialist Labour of People's Republic of Bulgaria Sometimes The second one was presented with a small booklet

Hi Kay, Nice work Well done

New World, It looks like your guess was correct

Hi Paul, Some speculate that the so called 1st Restoration LOH pieces are actually makers variations and it is difficult to separate them. That is contrary to the existing belief that the pieces with crown and three lilies on the reverse central medallion are 1st Restauration and the ones with only three lilies are from the 2nd Restauration period Graf

well known fake Can not fool If it is very cheap as a filler is OK

Very nice
