    Bulgarian Ten Years service medal


    Recommended Posts

    hi guys, these are common and usually not very interesting, but I want to show you this one, because the condition is so good and especially because it is cased - this is the first time I ever found a cased one!! :cheers: Nice box, isn't it :cheers:

    Excellent example in pristine case! Have seen 1 or 3 other examples of this award [established in June, 1889] in this type case: Ring hallmarks on them were for Austrian silver purity certification and manufacturer. Scheid of Vienna is the 'known' maker but maybe Schwertner made some--some Schwertner pieces have multiple maker's marks. Though your illustration is excellent, I cannot ID the hallmarks on your piece. If you have McNamara's work on hallmarks handy that may help [sorry, mine remains in storage]. I believe one of the crosses previously seen had a French {!} import mark on the lower limb rim.

    Confirms the 2A Luna head-- she looks like a "devil girl" because she has a tiny cescent moon in her hair NOT horns... but that's even worse on the maker initials. :cheers:
