Nice work Tony

Silber - Silver I agree Cheers

Excellent Document Congrats

Hi Igor Excellent photos Thanks

Hi Igor Superb Collection Congrats

Very nice and rare

I am glad that people who bid realized that this is a copy The final price on eBay was 600 Euro That is OK i was afraid that there will be last minute mad bidding and someone will depart with significant amount of money It is good collectors are getting the message and/or read our posts I hope the Seller will learn something as well

Nice observation Yes we will wonder about those unusual way of wearing the Decorations. We only can speculate It could be de the jewel par sent for a repair or snapped from the Order Only the King would have known

Very nice information Thanks

He came from one of the richest families in Europe. Very extravagant and liked to enjoy life After he became the Prince of Bulgaria His family spend fortune to turn Sofia into a "modern' European city During his time many luxury Orders and Decorations were awarded He got many in return. His son King Boris was much more modest Sadly many of his Decorations have been sold by his Grand son the current King Simeon through some Auction Houses

Very nice observation and research work Thanks Prince/King Ferdinand liked all those luxury decorations he was giving them to other Royals and he was getting many in return It is good to be a King

Excellent

Very nice mins Tony

The seller added additional pictures. i am still not convinced that this is an original piece, although there is a bit of a bidding and he will get good price Judge for yourselves

Hi Daniel, Thank you for the link It is very nice grouping

Superb

I fully agree with you

Hi Uwe, Nice to hear from you. I have to the catalogue Most of the items were very good and original, however few were , in my opinion questionable Why is for sure that HH had two 1st Classes Set of the Order for Bravery One with very nice original boxes was sold. The other one with damaged Cross was not sold ( I saw it in post Auction sale section) While the Crosses were original both Sets 's stars were not.That is my humble opinion. You have knowledge and perhaps saw the lots in person. You might have different opinion The purpose of this forums, in my opinion, is to raise concern for questionable items and through arguments (friendly ones) to agree whether tie items are Original and fakes/copies All participants put something individual in those arguments. Some of us are with more eager and temperament some are more patient That is the human nature Kind regards and respect Graf

Hi Uwe, When I contacted the Seller and questioned the originality of PLM and 1st Class Star of Bulgarian Order for Bravery he replied that they are Original and I am totally wrong I did not like to argue however this PLM is post WW2 made and the Bulgarian Order is recently made one I listed my comments on this one on the Bulgarian Section. What is disturbing fact is that even reputable sellers and Action Houses close their eyes and knowingly or not knowingly sell questionable items either by claiming that their are original or write a very vague not clear discription On the other hand some Auction houses if they do not know the originality they write that the item might be a copy Best Regards
