Valter Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) Gentlemen, I need help with this Bulgarian award - I'm totally new to Bulgaria and I have an opportunity to buy this. I can read "s nami bog" (god with us) and 1878, so I assume it's something with liberation war? I know pictures are crappy, but that's all I have. What decoration is this, is it a good (original) one, and approximate value? Thank you very much in advance! Valter Edited August 31, 2010 by Valter
Valter Posted August 31, 2010 Author Posted August 31, 2010 The (i think) obverse ... thanks for looking!
JBFloyd Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 This is the Silver Cross of the Order of St. Alexander. This type, with the royal crown suspension, was created during WWII by King Boris III. The date on the reverse, 19 February 1878, refers to the Treaty of San Stefano, which established Bulgaria as an autonomous nation.
Valter Posted September 1, 2010 Author Posted September 1, 2010 Jeff, thank you very much for the info. Any opinions about originality and value of this piece?
JBFloyd Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Looks original. You'll see these in the market at US$65-75.
Valter Posted September 1, 2010 Author Posted September 1, 2010 Thank you very much, Jeff! The sellers wants more, so I'll take the order in my hands and if it's not perfect, I'll look for another one. Valter
