Hello, could someone please identify this badge and when was it given? I am doing a research on a forgotten Bulgarian general from my hometown who received it when he visited London in 1936 with general Vladimir Vazov. Any info is helpful!!!! Info like what people had received it and in which year.

Update Very Interesting. Instead of saying "Войнишки кръст" soldiers cross, it says "СрЬбъренъ кръст" which means silver cross.

Those two medals belonged to a person on this photo. When I bought them the seller told me that when he was buying them many years ago, there was a whole photo album that the person who was awarded made. But sadly the seller I bought from, bought only one picture and those two medals. It's very interesting how a small piece of the inside is missing, were they on a ribbon bar? Also why is the medal from the Balkan war more used than ww1 one? Did he wear more the Balkan war medal than the ww1 medal? Happy to contribute to the forum!

Could someone please tell me how much 1912-1913 medals with black and white stripe were given? I read somewhere that there were around 30,000 given of all types only to bulgarians?🤔🤔 Here are my medals, the ribbon with the black stripe is replica.

Nice collection. I see you have every emission of the Officer Cross, congrats! Also could you make separate photos of the envelopes, I want to see the 1 and 2 grade envelopes .

Very nice collection!

Here is a very rare emission of the order for bravery in a museum located in my local town - Sevlievo.

I present you every medal for merit Boris emission (the two bronze medals are with the grammar error). The order was given to a captain in the Eight Marine Infantry regiment (Осми пехотен приморски полк). The only medal left that I need is the golden order for merit. The silver medal with crown has a interesting small ferdinand's ribbon. Also could someone tell me how to distinguish the fake golden order and medals from the originals? I know that there were total 69 medals given. How many were Boris emission? Any interesting information about the Boris emission is helpful!

Could you please tell me how many medals with white stripe and black stripe were given for the 1912-1913 emission and the 1915 1918 emission?

The order for bravery is the emission with the 7 dots, its just that the central medallion has been lost and it has been replaced with a 1945 one.

OK thank you for the information. What is the price right now for a 4 class emission with 7 dots with and without swords? I think there boxes go around 125-150 euros (250-300 leva). Also why the boxes cost so much? Is it because they were awarded in the trenches and the soldier's just threw away the boxes?

Here is my current collection of bravery crosess from the Balkan wars. I know that I have two degrees of second class i just don't want to spend more money on a soldier's crosses. Will make updates when I collect the officers cross and the 1,2,4 envelopes!!!!

Thank you so much, you made things so clear!

Hello, I'm planning of collecting all 4 degrees of the bulgarian soldier cross and the officers cross. Could someone tell what is the difference between the emission in the first two pictures and the emission of the third picture. I want to know which emission was made first, till when was it awarded, in what country was it made. Any information is helpful

WOW! I have never seen yellowish bulgarian war time made soldier's cross. Could you make more pictures of it? Also why some soldier's crosses ribbons are pentagonal?

What is the best book about Bulgarian orders for the 1878-1944 9 September period? I'm thinking of buying Veselin Denkov's book because it's very cheap (it's 25 euros/ 50 levas)

Thank you, but what degree are the crosses? I think they are either first or second because of the yellowish metal. Also I have read that the soldier's cross was given with pentagonal ribbon til the serbo-Bulgarian war 1885. I think that till 1885 there were two degrees: "first" and "second". It thinks its first degree. Is there a chance that it was given before 1885? Was it made in Austro-hungary? Any information is helpful!

Hello, can someone tell me if this order of Saint Alexander 6 class is original? And what emissions it is and when it was awarded?

Sorry for the bad lighting, I just made the photos now. If you want more photos I could make them tomorrow in daylight

Here are some pics of my order for civil merit 6 class with crown! Bought it only for 135 euro (270 leva), that is the rarest order in my collection. (Keep in mind that I am only 17 and started collecting 10 months ago) Graff, do you have viber or Facebook? I have some questions about some orders?

I have a sixth class with a crown with flat reverse but sadly I can't upload it here. Its says "file too big".

Hi guys, I am new to medal collecting (I'm 17) and just came across a very strange soldier's cross with short swords from the Balkan wars. It is the first emission. Could someone please tell me why it has short swords. I have compared it to a cross the same emission. I can't share the pics
