Agresto Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Hello all, I'm new to the forums and also pretty new to collecting. (Having just started this summer.) I have a focus on Bulgarian awards and a budget of a college kid but I make by with what I can get. This is what my collection is so far: Badges: (In Order) 30 Years of the Socialist Revolution Institute of Communications International Peace Conference 1984 and 1989 Patriotic Front Soviet Friendship Socialistic Labor Heavy Propaganda XIII Bulgarian Communist Party Congress Parvenets Champion
Agresto Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 Here is a Red Banner of Labor numbered 529 that I acquired not too long ago. I also have a Order 9 September 3rd Class type 4 and type 2 but don't have pictures for them yet.

IrishGunner Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Welcome to the GMIC! Having just started this summer; you are doing well! Let me ask, what has made you focus on Bulgaria as you start collecting?

Agresto Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 Welcome to the GMIC! Having just started this summer; you are doing well! Let me ask, what has made you focus on Bulgaria as you start collecting? Thank you for the welcome! I'm very interested in the Cold War era, so I started out looking at some Soviet stuff. (I have a couple of common medals from them.) Then I was looking around at some other Soviet bloc countries and found Bulgaria. They were much cheaper in general and I fell in love with their awards. Also I might cause some trouble by saying it, but their counterparts to the Soviet awards sometimes have a better looking design.
IrishGunner Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Also I might cause some trouble by saying it, but their counterparts to the Soviet awards sometimes have a better looking design. I don't think you'll cause any trouble here with having an opinion or preference. That's what GMIC is all about. If you have a passion for something, you'll learn more about it and then we learn too! For example, I've not had any interest previously in Bulgarian awards, but your post has given me a chance to take a look at some. Thanks again.
Valter Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Wellcome to forum! I also started with Bulgaria this summer and I can only share your opinion about the beauty of these awards. You already have some nice pieces there, the numbered red banner and Peshev grouping - can you post a bigger picture of newspaper clipping?

Valter Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Thank you all for the warm welcomes. Valter- Yes, I'll get a picture as soon as possible. I don't even know what it says but it was a cool extra for the grouping. The title says "awarded with orders". When you post bigger pic, we'll try to translete the rest. :cool:

Valter Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Okay, here is the newspaper article. It says: "By the instance of fulfilling round number of years and for active participation in fight against fashism and capitalism as well as building socialism, the State council issued orders ot award to Petar Mančev Grančarov, dr. Nikola Valčev Terpešev and engineer Petar Nikolov Statev with order »People republic of Bulgaria«, 1st degree.

Agresto Posted October 21, 2010 Author Posted October 21, 2010 Thanks a lot, Valter! It really makes me feel better that the clipping goes with the award grouping. :beer:
