Bulgaria Bulgarian field cap

[Theodor]

Hi guys, this is a new acquisition, a Bulgarian army officer's hat, used from the mid-30's, as well as during the WW2. Fortunately only the emblem was made of tasty cloth, so there is no other damage on it

Does the stripe across the top = Lieutenant?

A good question... Actually I have seen photos of similar caps with two stripes, also with two stripes but one much wider than the other... In other words, I have no idea of the meaning of the stripes

BTW it came with its tunic, but sadly no boards. Still, in my opinion, either Poruchyk, or Podporuchyk /SeniorLt. or Lt., if this is the correct translation/

Hello,

Do you still have this cap? Can you send me a picture of it.

Thanks,
