And the back of it

Very heavy and well made medal even in late 70s .

And a close up of the front of the medal

Christer

Here is a new medal for the forum.

Instituded May 1978 for the 100th anniversary of Bulgarian communications 1979

First awarded 17th May 1979, only made in 1000 copies

So it should be rather rare, this medal is complete with the luxury plastic bag ( I have never seen a box for theese? anyone?)

And a certificate.

Very nice medal, I wonder who got it?

Christer

:cheers:

Very Nice Order Anatoly !

This order still exist, but they do not toss it out to anybody.......

Christer

The document states "Bronze", therefore it should be III Class.

Dragomir

Aha ! Thanks Dragomir

Christer

Hmm , this must be a medal that you don?t wear after the fall of Communism in Bulgaria

This wa awarded in three classes, I am not sure if this is the first class or third class since its the only one I got.

Although a nice made medal and a interesting award doc numbered 115 from 1981.

Christer

And here is the inside with the name.

Christer

Couldn?t find any place to put this so I make a new thread

Theese are the highest badges presenter by the Central Commitee of the Trade Union

I belive theese was awarded in two classes Gold and Silver ?

Here is a late Silver one with certificate from 1986 issued to a Woman if I dont read it wrong

Quite well made for beeing a late award like this.

And the inside

Christer

Outstanding Worh for Physical Fitnes

That is the loong name for this badge , instituted in 1954, the badge chnaged design in 1964 and teh award cert is for a bedge of

first year with the new look , the bottom sprockets was marked PRB from 1954 -1964 and after that marked as here BSFS

The badge which I got with the certificate is a later version without enamel. 70-80s issue ??

But still a nice badge

First Badge and Booklet outside

:off topic:

Hi Rick, I know how difficult they are to scan...... I took probably 30-50 pics before I get theese which look decent, It is an order Heavenly made

but to get it pictured it is Hells work

Christer

And last pic for the Labour Orders , the Box for a Class III , Bronce order

Haven?t got a clue why the other boxes are so hard to find? Possible the Silver and Gold wasn?t awarded until the Red plastic boxes

was introduced so no boxes was made for them.... njaaae

Christer

And the backside (I am damaged by collecting Imperial German stuff, always look for the backs)

Christer

And the last one for the real heores !!!

The Gold class , phuu that would have been hard to get I think.

A really nice piece

Christer

And the backside

I wonder how many who manage to get all three ?? in 17 years only 6557 pieces was awarded, how many Gold class ???

Would I like to get a complete group with docs ?

YES !

And here is the Silver class for a even more glorious worker, on his/hers way to the full group !

Christer

And back of Bronce Class

I havent seen any certificate yet to one of theese and the boxes seems to be hard to find to ?

The only box I have been able to find is for third class....

Christer

I thought I would contionue with the last of the Labour Orders

The Order of Labour Glory, instituted 28th May 1974 in three classes : Bronce , Silver and Gold

Awarding with the higher class was possible only for holders of the lower one.

A total of 6557 Order of Labour Glory (incl all three classes was awarded.)

Here is the front of the lowest class , Bronce

Christer

Here is a better pic of the Gold class Civil Valour and Merit

Hi Megan, No problem my full name is Christer Daun , I will test some different backgrounds this evening for best result.

Christer

Hi Megan,

I love your website, it helped me a lot whenever i found something unknown

Feel free to use my pictures on your site if you want them and if they are good enough. I will in that case take a better photo of the first class also. And if you want pics of any other Bulgarian medal/orders just let me know.

Have a nice weekend

Christer

Hi all,

Dond I haven?t seen any of the markings you mentioned ecept for the L/ , a L/15 made of bronce and a L/11 miniature.

AS in a triangle , JFS , MuK is unknown to me as HK makers

Are you sure they have made Honor crosses?

And Ulsterman, Yes the magnet is the first thing I test , but sorry to say so far all have been iron ones

Well, there are some more millions out there so I keep on looking...

Christer

And next page in the award doc with date and class noted.

Christer

And, probably the hardest to find ! A document awarded to a Dragomir ?? in 1975 for a I class

And a Class III Order, no gold just silver for this one
