bifter Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Hi!I have just had a delivery of 2 cased Bulgar National Liberty Orders with one document. My problem is knowing which one the document belongs to, as none are numbered.The first is a 1st type screwback; the second is a 2nd type ribbon hung. The document is dated 1959, therefore ,the document will belong to whichever type was being awarded in that year. I also got a 3rd type ribbon hung, but that is not cased!Pictures will follow when i have some free time to get them taken. I have gotten a new digital camera as a gift for being a devoted ,full time care worker!!! Trouble is, finding time to use it! Bis Bald!
bifter Posted January 17, 2008 Author Posted January 17, 2008 Oh! That above was actually a plea for your help in highlighting which Order the document belongs to! I do not think i made it clear as a question! Sorry. All help appreciated!
Ulsterman Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Uh- I am at a loss here. Do you mean the Order of Peoples' Liberty? (white enameled star set within gold rayes, with hristo Botev in the middle?)
Bayoswede Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Order of peoples Liberty I think that if is was awarded in 1959 it should be type II , the one hanged from a hanger like soviet ones. The first type screwback was issued in 1945 and I think they must have changed to hanger around early 1950? Someone have better info? Christer
bifter Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 I guess it is somtimes called People's Liberty, but the direct translation is National (Narodna) Freedom/Liberty (Svoboda). I am sure any bulgars will correct me if i am mistaken. I learnt Russian, but it is more or less the same as Bulgarian!Mine are all 2nd class; & very much some of my favourites, with the 9th Septembers.Scans will be done as soon as i have managed to get some free time to use my new digital camera, I look after my disabled ma 24/7, so i virtually have no time to spare except when she is bed!Soon, ALL my little treausures will be scanned for your enjoyment!
bifter Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 OOPS! I just checked my dictionary; Narodna can mean either Nation or national, or it can mean People, as in the German 'volk'! I see that both of us are correct. A good example is the Narodna Banka Bulgaria - This can be either National or peoples' bank of Bulgaria. Language can be confusing if it isn't thoroughly reasearched!Look at the Russian Combat Service/ Military Merit merdal for a good example.
