    Imperial Bulgarian belt buckle


    Recommended Posts

    Hi to all,

    I just picked up this Imperial Bulgarian Belt Buckle apparently from the reign of Tsar Boris III, I'm curious to know if anyone knows what the initials stand for? I would guess it would be in cyryllic and so would be V and Y. My wife is at work, and I guess I should have run it past her as she is fluent in Russian/Bulgarian, but anyway if anyone can help it would be appreciated.

    Hi,

    It looks like early post WW2 ..Peoples' Militia buckle

    H, the Bulgarian eqivalent of N,. is Initial for Narodna (Peoples')

    M is initial for Militia

    Bulgaria Royal/Kingdom Police items had the Initials DP

    D is initial for the Bulgarian word Durzavna (not sure about the spelling) which means Governments'

    P is initial for Police
