JBFloyd Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Bulgarian Motherhood Order, second class.There are more Bulgarian medals than Bulgarian medal collectors, but the Kingdom material is starting to pick up again. A lot of quality Bulgarian material seems to be going home again, rather like Imperial Russian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 (edited) So would the time period of the piece be during the "Kingdom" time era? What years did this span? Edited October 3, 2005 by Paul Reck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFloyd Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 It's from the Communist period (1946-1990). This one was established in 1950. you'll also see these on plain blue bow-mounts. It comes in three classes.Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was selected to be Prince of Bulgaria in 1887. Ferdinand declared himself Tsar of the Kingdom of Bulgaria in 1909.Jeff Floyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 Thank you Rick and Jeff for your help on this. I have had this medal now for several years and had absolutely no clue as to what this was. I thought it was some early Soviet Mother's medal.Thank you all again.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
