Picked up this weekend in Bucharest.

Romanian Order of the Crown, Type 1, Civil (Knight), picked up this weekend in Buc

Bloody heck you did well. I am really, really jealous!

Ulsterman, thanks, I've come up with a few nuggets there. I skipped on a beautiful, early valor, Italian miniature group - didn't have any money with me and it was gone the next day. And, there have been other near misses, but now I carry about 1500 RON (500 US) whenever I hit up the flea market - just in case.

OMG!!!!!

In a flea market? where? How much?

I paid 130 US equivalent for everything but the Civil War medal which was 3.00. I did a lot better on the King Alfonso pair, also in the forum. The same guy also has a decent Naval Order of Merit that I believe dates to the turn of the century, but he is wise to me and asking way too much.

It has the date 1 Martie and Aerochim on it. I presume it was given to a workers union. Nothing special about the reverse so I've decided not to post it.

Simple two place ribbon bar: Liberation from Facism and Russian Victor over Germany

Reverse. Notice the clean construction of the cloth ribbon bar on the bottom.

Some Romanian ribbon bars I've gotten since moving to Bucharest. I especially like the bottom ribbon bar which has cloth ribbons under plexiglass.

Oddest things show up at the flea markets in Bucharest! But, I am not complaining. Thanks again.
