Jacques Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 hi,I got a Bulgarian medal, a current one. it is silvered with a peace bird on the obverse. the ribbon is sky blue, with the colors of Bulgaria on the right side. it is for "participation to mission" or something equivalent.is anyone can help me.jacques
Stogieman Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 This is the closest I can come up with. But the national colors are in the center. This is the medal For Peace & friendship between Bulgaria & USSR. It's the only medal I can find that has a peace bird (dove), but it is gilt, not silver.
Stogieman Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 This ribbon comes close to what you describe, but the national colors are on the left.If it's a current (post communist era) medal, perhaps they are reversing this old ribbon and using it up?
Guest Rick Research Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 I think if Jacques got it where he is, it is CURRENT and we have no references for the last 5 years or so After The Change.
Jacques Posted July 19, 2009 Author Posted July 19, 2009 Hi guys,thanks for the answer. It is not the same medal, but it looks very close.the design changed but is familiar, and the ribbon's colours are the same except the Bulgarian colours which are now on the right.In fact, I'm currently in Afghanistan and I just have been awarded with this medal. all is written in syrilic and I can't read it. I'll take pics and them here, with the document.jacques
Guest Rick Research Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Jacques-- they actually made your name come out very well in Cyrillic!From Minister of Defense Nikolai Tsonev, this is described as "The Badge 'For Participation in Missions,'" and the text refers to ISAF, Kabul. That's about as much as I can "cheat" with my Russian.Exceptionally nice looking document!Now... for the long weary process of getting YOUR bureaucracy to allow wearing this! (Daniel has still not got his Italian one for Bosnia....) :cheers:
Jacques Posted July 23, 2009 Author Posted July 23, 2009 hI,I don't think I will ask any authorization. as you said , bureaucratie is too slow...It will join the other on my medals bar
