Stogieman Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Regulations with a nice image of the early coat of arms watermark!
Stogieman Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Nice example of a Type 2 screwback Second Class Order:
Theodor Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Just a small note: he is Todor, not Fedor. You will find many Todor-s in Bulgaria /as well as some Theodor-s :rolleyes:/, but so far I've not heard of a Fedor in this land
Stogieman Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Thank you Theodor, I have corrected the error in every note I have and here! Thanks!
Brian Wolfe Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Hello Everyone,Canada Day here and after a "hunting trip" to the antiques mall I brought home a second class Bulgarian Order of 9 September 1944 that I wanted to show. There is something about enamelled medals and orders that intrigues me. Cheers Brian
Brian Wolfe Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Here's the reverse. I noticed others posted on the forum have attachment rivets on the reverse where this one has none. I would guess that mine was made in one piece rather than assembled, though the round portion looks it be affixed to the star. What are the opinions of the members?Cheers Brian
bolgarin Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Hi.This is 4 emission of this order. If you read this post with more attention you will find the describe of all types of this order....

Eric Stahlhut Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 here is something i have from the time i decided to test the waters of this particular collecting pool
Eric Stahlhut Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 i pretty much dipped my big toe in and then went back to more familiar waters
oamotme Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Gentlmen,This is not my usual scope of interest but I have been offered for sale here in Riyadh a 1st Class Civil - a quality white enameled piece (both sides) in its red box. From viewing this string of correspondence I suspect this is from the early/mid-1960s awarded to a Saudi diplomat - indeed some of the Arabic awards also for sale indicate this period. It is an attractive piece hence my interest - the price asked is SR2,400 or $640 - not cheap enough for me to go for it without consideration. I probably could negotiate a bit off for cash but is this a fair price? Venturing outside ones own field - Arabian awards - is always a wary exercise. Any comments would be appreciated.Many thanks,Owain (OAMOTME - Orders and Medals of the Middle East)

Any comments would be appreciated.Many thanks,Owain (OAMOTME - Orders and Medals of the Middle East)Is this item with document? Is it possible to see scan of the item and document? This price is for the hole group or for the simply bulgarian order?
oamotme Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Dear Bolgarin,No document and the price is for this piece alone. All other items - various orders are for sale separately - some damaged. It will not be possible to get an image but the piece is in good condition.Regards,Owain.
bolgarin Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 If we are talking about bulgarian order 9 september 1944 1 class on suspension. The price is not bad, the price is TERRIBLE. I think maximum 40-70$ for this piece is normal. But maybe we are talking about something anouther?
Theodor Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 And the artist's skills are terrible, too The Neanderthal on the central medallion should represent this handsome man :speechless:
oamotme Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Bolgarin,Many thanks - you have saved me from the enthusiasm of being a collector - yes this is it 1st Class Civil enamel both sides with case circa 1960. I will try and get an image.Owain
Stogieman Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I have seen only one other example. Is this a legit package?
bolgarin Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 This is very rare early packet for the order..... :cheers:
Stogieman Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Thanks! The only other one I have seen i believe is posted earlier by you. Thanks!!!
Stogieman Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 One other quick question. Would it have been strictly a Type 1 (First Emission with initials by the bust) or would a Type 2 (Second Emission) have come in the packet as well?Thanks!
