Gerd Becker Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Allright, know what you mean, let me see, if i can find something... The lower classes seem to be easily available, but the higher classes are quite rare obviously.Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The badge second class had a white cross.But this might be the star Rene is after: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol I Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Up until 1908 there were 11 awards of the Bulgarian Order of St. Alexander 2nd class with surmounting swords. During the same period there were only 4 similar awards for the 1st class and 12 for the 3rd class. Who knows how many were awarded after 1908?

Carol I Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 To add just one thing, the numbers above refer only to the awards with the "princely crown" (not the "royal crown" that appears in all the images posted this far on this thread).
