Good Day Guys. Seemingly my increased knowledge when it comes to new items of POLITICAL OFFICER Training / POLITICAL ACADEMY awards etc, has made me aware of newer items on the market. I am enjoying the continued hunt for such items following much help from this forum. I am greatfull. I now know what to look for (seemingly), but I need your help on these 2 items listed. Dealers are eager to indicate these 2 items as being of POLITICAL Training value......are they correct? They do not fit the information I have at hand. So I am seeking confirmation and a correct designation. Can you help? Gratefully yours - DREW

Bulgaria Bulgarian/Romanian? badges
drewchaneyau replied to Ed_Haynes's topic in Central & Eastern European States
Bulgarian Political badges: I see from various posts and from ebay that numerous versions of the Bulgarian excellent Political work badges exist! Has anyone difinitive information on these variants? I suspect the variants span numerous years and reflect the later trend in making badges in the cheap lightweight materials! I attach a picture too of a badge that does not fit the normal variant listing and has been designated as political training......is that so? Can anyone help in this regard? Take care - all the best, Drew -
