      Hi DutchBoy You raise an excellent question. I feel fairly certain that this one is solid silver, the weight is heavy for its size and the quality is there. I have handled other early ones and they are as you say light and made of tombac. However I do have another one that is French made also in silver and that one does have a hallmark. Sincerely Yankee

      Hi Lukasz Thanks for the firms listed, I will try a 15 X loop and perhaps find a hallmark & maybe get lucky........

      Hi DutchBoy Thanks for the help, never thought possibility to be of Russian manufacture. Russia and Bulgaria had a special relationship that would explain why. Don't see too many Russian made pieces for other countries. I do have a French made one and it is very different then the one shown. So either Austro-Hungarian or Russian. Thanks

      Hello Hope not to complicate the ribbon issue, can add another to the list. In the picture is an early bravery medal with the orginal St.George & St.Andrew ribbon. On the rim is a hallmark in cyrillic. Russians did participate in the war, surely awarded to a Russian. The medal itself is well executed.

      Hello Here is a 4th class Bulgarian military Bravery Order. This particular badge is made from sterling silver, silver runs below enamel & there seems to be a pineapple design with two balls on either side. Can anybody shed some light where the badge was manufactured & who the maker was. I don't think it is a Bulgarian made piece. Any thoughts would be most appreciative. Thanks Yankee

      Hi Jacky Thanks for being patient. Finally figured it out before felt so The badge is well executed, I did see one that was not so well detailed, perhaps there are variations to this medal.

      Hi Bretzen Many thanks for all that great info. That is the date on my medal and the ribbon color as you describe. I can assume only a handful of gold ones were ever issued then. Was it an elite regiment ? I don't see any other official Bulgarian medals given out to other regiments. I wonder if other Bulgarian regiments were placed under the patronage of a royal person. Sincerely Yankee

      Thanks for the welcome. I apologize for not having the pictures already to you. I tried to send it out and was unable to. Know the problem pictures to large to be sent. Hopefully will figure out the HP foto imagery and reduce picture size. Terrible with computers reason for delay..... my sad excuse

      Hello I'm a new member and have to say a really fantastic site purchased a silver Queen Clementine medal, wanting to know just how many of the medals were issued? The obverse crowned with a "K" and reverse a fleur-de-lis. Any info on this medal would be appreciated. Thanks

      Hi Rod If you are going to collect Imperial medals & orders there is a very helpful book that comes out of Germany by Jorg Nimmergut. Has all the States listed and prices as well. Pocket size book easy to carry around at shows. The dealers and auction houses all have ads listed with website address. I purchased my 2005/2006 copy from Helmut Weitze www.weitze.net Hope it helps Sincerely Yankee
