    Bulgarian Order of 9 September 1944


    Recommended Posts

    The main problem is that to this moment there is many opinions about the first emission (with initials). Some collectors thaughts that it was only trial issues.

    But i think that if the items with initials were awarded they shell goes in the same packets. But it concern only 2 and 3 classes. I never see such packets for the first neck ribbon classes.

    Thanks, I understand what you are saying. So it is possible a Second Class, Second Emission would have been issued in this packet as opposed to a case?

    Whoa whoa! Linguistic/translation police! PLEASE do not use "emission" that is completely incorrect English. "Type," OK. "Variety," "issue" any of those are fine. "Emission" is what comes out of the muffler of an automobile's tail pipe! :speechless1:

    "1st type," "2nd type," 3rd type" would be MUCH better. :catjava:

    Yes Rick, I know that... but when we cross linguistic lines..... the majority of our Bulgarian and Russian friends use the word "emission"....

    Yes Evil Ricky.... but our friends are using the WRONG word so let us not perpetuate the error.

    "Emission" is not the correct English word.

    I would really like to STOP this error before it appears in print. :rolleyes:

    I agree with Rick. A poor English translation that is in common use in another country is no reason to perpetuate its use. I have made suggestions to change an English translation on the Yugoslav forum to a member writing a book, in English, and he was appreciative of the suggestion. I think the same thing should apply here.

    Regards,

    More clues! I am posting this pix and hopefully will have these pieces for deeper examination.... perhaps we have some more clues to the presence of this odd mark on the reverse of this one:

    http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtop...st&p=265961

    There seems to be more transitional elements than we originally thought....

    Type 1a, Type 1b (screwbacks/neck orders)

    Type 2(a), ribboned with screwback

    **Type 2(b)(?) Riveted (??)

    Type 2©, dimple back

    Type 3, smooth back

    Type 4, smaller suspension

    (Going from memory here..., sorry for any ommissions)

    Note the presence of what appears to be rivets in the center where the post/nut used to be!!!

    Type 4, smaller suspension

    And sold for amazing 125 $ :speechless1: Did you get them Stogieman?

    Why this record braking price for a 2nd and 3rd class 9 Sept, was it because of the nut conversion?

    Well seems like the financial crisis is over :cheeky:

    Yes I won, I was away and bid. Someone satr there and bid 40 times pushing me up up up...

    This is why I HATE open bidding. This is why I snipe

    Bottom line, I just snagged a variation I did not have and one more piece of the puzzle...

    Hopefully they will actually arrive

    Do you know where the piece went??

    Thanks! Rick

    no, I'm sorry. I put this into archives everal weeks ago... I try to establish a draft database about booklets serial numbers with the help of such pictures.
