This is not your typical award card one sees with Bulgarian medals, nor is it the typical orders book. Can anyone help me with exactly what this is?

Awarded to?

Thanks! Rick

This is a copy /official issued copy/ of the Decree, with which that guy was awarded a 2nd gr. "People Republic Bulgaria" order.

Thanks very much Theodor! This is the first time I have seen such an "official copy" of an award decree.

Very interesting!
