Now here comes King Kong or Mighty Joe Young or some other really big monkey...this is quite a bar. Although technically Saxon it is the presence of the Reuss decorations that will make the identification of the owner possible. Rick has narrowed it down to a leutnant possibly in the Reserve Jager Battalion 13. He may have gone to that battalion as cadre from the 13 Jager Battalion.

and another on a statute ribbon which will be restored to a medal bar. This and the one above are the only two examples I have seen which is not significant but they are the only two examples Rick has seen and that is very significant.

Bulgaria Bulgarian medals and ribbon bars
Bob Hunter replied to Deruelle's topic in Central & Eastern European States
We're not talking gobs of the stuff. In moderation with Q-tips. Stops zincpest in its tracks and a dry brush on verdigris. Of course the best solution is to buy medals and badges in a better preserved state when that's possible. -
Good job! Now go buy another case and get started!!

Can anyone ID this medal?
Bob Hunter replied to Mike Dunn's topic in Central & Eastern European States
I would think that a nose like that would be easy to ID...or perhaps not. Has a definite Romanian or Bulgarian look to it. -

Try a soft bristle brush to remove the verdigris and follow with a light vaseline treatment followed within 24 hours with a complete wipe down of the vaseline. That will get the green out! -
