Bulgaria Bulgarian Uniform

[hunyadi]

As it was not a bad Easter day and the lighting was good I took out the camera and took a few shots of my Bulgarian WW2 uniform. I believe that this is the M39 version of an infantry officer.

The two awards were added by me - originally it came with the order of merit 5th class - one with the crown and one without... I added the ones seen here.

The shooting award was already on the uniform and it looks like it had been there a while - no loops - simply stuck thru the pocket

Questions remain as the medals that came with the unform were of the WW1 variety with the peacetime ribbons - does this make any sense? I would assume that an offcier with an M39 would have been a bit "old" when the war began to be a captain...
