    Bulgarian Order of Peoples Labour


    Recommended Posts

    :cheers:

    Here is the one of the oldest Orders in Peoples Republic of Bulgaria

    The Order of Peoples Labour or Order of Labour as it later was named.

    First out the box and dokument for the first issued Order Gold class, it is a cardboard box. I am not sure if this one is older than the Wooden boxes for this order but I bought the order in this box and it do look old.

    And here is the inside with the man awarded in the order itself.

    This 1st type was introduced in June 1945

    I have been told that not more than 50! Orders was awarded of this early type but I have no proof of that, but they are quite rare!

    I am not sure this document is really for this order since the 2nd type came in 1950, but maybe they still used old stock into mid 50?s ?

    It is hard to say what doc belonged to what order after 50 years, a lot can have happened on the way :unsure:

    Very Nice order although ! :cheers:

    And Finally a man awarded with aBronce class Order in 1971.

    I have learned that of all classes and types (there is a 3rd type of this Order issued in 1977) there was 206 569 pieces awarded , still a quite small number when you compare to Soviet Orders. :speechless1:

    And this was the most awarded in numbers of all in PRB !

    Hi Christer, these are wonderful, Thanks for showing so many varieties.

    I found the Labor Orders just a little confusing as we have:

    Order of The Red Banner of Labor

    Order of Labor

    Order of Labor Glory

    That's a lot of Labor-related pieces to study!!

    Great Order Stogieman, I wonder how llong they awarded theese "old" issues of Order of Labour?

    This is awarded in 1959 and by then the new type should have been out and around.

    I have also a similar set with book from 1959 .

    All the best from Sweden
