Aurelius Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 A very nice rare find!!!!!! Congrats! Could be KGB or Bulgarian Security Services? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
922F Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Thanks for posting this remarkable Red Star! Awarded in 1969......any idea why Filipov received this award? Major Sino-Soviet border disputes earlier that year or left-over from '68's Prague Spring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 I believe this was a 25 year anniversery of WW2 award. He was Bulgarian State Security, but not his entire career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedMaestro Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Thanks for posting, Rick! This is indeed a 25th anniversary award, but for the Socialist Revolution of September 9, 1944 rather than WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
