    Bulgarian State Security Honor Badge

    In a rather nice titled red plastic case that hinges open without a catch, top being held snug by the fitted white flocked lining. Typically, although form fitted to the badge, the recess in the lining was not made to the correct specifications, so the only way it will sit flush is to remove the screw disk! :speechless:

    I can't show the inside because it only opens to a 90? angle.

    From the general lack of quality, I assume this is an Final Days piece:

    To have fit properly in the case, the screw post would have had to have been positioned where the star's rivet is. Somebody changed designs without telling somebody else!!!

    I found theese pics of an Bulgarian GenLt ? at least his General and I think he has the badge State Security Honor on him, the pics are real small !

    He also has some other badges that I cant recognize. And a BIG ribbon bar with 30 ribbons , sorry to say I cab?t get them out :banger:

    At least two Dimitrovs , Red Banner and ....... blurr

    At the back of one card there says something like Dimo Dimov ?? Anyone know who it is ? A General from Ministery of Interior ?

    Yes, that's this badge alright! :cheers:

    Having had the opportunity to examine 2 now, mine doesn't fit in the case because each one appears to be hand-made. The screw post on the other badge is about where the top rivet is on mine, which makes a perfect fit in the red plastic case.

    What is more interesting--

    mine has the Roman--NOT Cyrillic !!!-- alphabet letters "P. V." on the screw-disk. I had just assumed that it was aan incorrect replacement... but the OTHER badge also has the same maker mark--- ???

    Hi Petr, correct he is wearing both a Soviet and Bulgarian Honored Worker Badge. I was not aware that the Soviet "eggs" were handed out to foreigners as well... Very interesting photographs Christer!

    Rick R. Note the general's ribbon bar!
