And next page with the award date in 1984 Christer

And the inside of the booklet, awarded to a Woman , I will not try to say her name with my bad language skills Christer

Here is my set of this medal, I wonder why we see so few of theese??? Mine is awarded in 1984 , ten years after the first issue but I seldom see theese medals with booklets so I assume there wasn?t many awarded? Christer

And here is the Badge !

Here is another of theese "Titles" Trade Union Title : Activist of Communist Labor From what I could read theese was awarded buy the Trade Union in three classes Bronce, Silver and like here Gold Quite heavy and well done badge. With a thick booklet awarded in 1964 Christer

Nice one I love when the paper work is still there ! Much harder to find but so Christer

And here is the inside with the badge Christer

Hi, I don?t know if this are really called Victory Passport ? But it is the badge for 25 Years anniv of IX 1944 Isued in 1969 and could someone translate the small black letters below the name? Ministry propaganda ????? Quite nice badge although Christer

One more card in my collection ! Belive it or not , but it is not that easy to find theese ships, I bought 4 cards last week just to find that when the cards arrived three of them was later built ships with the same name as thosse I was looking for Sometimes its hard to be a nerdy collector..... But here is one new at last! Montrose from Canadian Pacific Line built in 1922 and converted in 1939 to armed merchant cruiser and renamed HMS Forfar On 2nd December 1940 HMS Forfar was torpedoed and sunk by 5 torpedeos from the the German submarine U-99. 171 lives where lost that december day including the Captain.

And the backside of the group (seller pics) Christer

Just bought one ! While looking for Bulgarian Medals I found this little group with the Krieger Verdienst Med Since there where about 7000 issued to Austrians I wonder how many could have been awarded to the quite small Bulgarian Army in WW1 ? I love it already..... my preciousssssssssssssssssss Christer

And here is the booklet for the smaller one , I realized after posting it that it says BGTO ? on that one so it must be another type of Badge but very similar to the others ? Cant find it in Riemers Book I have a couple of more badges to show you I?ll be back ! Christer

And just to confuse things a little bit , Here is two more GTO Badges ! Both seems to be First Class but the one in the middle is only about 50% in size of the normal one? I also have a Booklet for the small one, it is numbered on the back with 347 The one on the right is on needle! And it sure looks like its orginal made, in size its beteen the other two.... Seems like we have a lot to learn about theese badges Christer

And here is my I class Badge with document, similar to Stogiemans but mine has a numbered backside ? Maybe some earlier issue , number is 38883

And here is the small booklet for the Class Badge Awarded to a Kostadinov Christer

Nice Badge Stogieman Here is the Class II of the same Badge Very nice badge looking just like the first class on back, with screw and maker marked washer sorry for the bad pic, I have to get a new camera that take better pics on close distances Christer

And here is the BIG document for this small badge If I translate this right it was issued for the year 1953-1954 andit is of third class as the badge in my first post. I don?t think many of theese papers was rescued to us collectors after 1991 ? Christer

Here is another of thoose Friendship societys This is the membership Bdge third Class a small but well manafactured badge I suppose its from 1950 - early 1960s since Stalin is on the front together with Dimitrov Christer

Great Thread Stogieman! The medal showed by Anatoly in post 36 is an ULTRA Rare KDS version of the standard medal, I have never seen one in real life and they probably cost a LOT of $$$$$$$$ if you find one. Myself is hunting the Long Service KDS medals 10 years and 20 years and thoose are quite hard to find Big Thanks for the Great Threads about Bulgarian Orders/medals Christer

Wow that?s quick ! Thank you all, this was really new info for me! No I am off for a cup of Tea Christer

Hi , do anyone know how many was awarded of theese? Since they are so rare, for what was they awarded? I look around the internet , but couldn?t find much info about the Krieger Verdienst medallie Allt he Best Christer

Thanks Rick and Uwe ! So Theese are Prov Reichsheer guys , they stayed in uniform after the war. Hardi Raetzer , a new name to look for Good night Christer
