Bulgaria Some help with Bulgarian decorations

[Peter J]

Gents, my best buddy past away a while back (RIP my dear friend). We shared the same interest for Orders and decorations and he was a bit of a mentor for me. I was asked by his family to handle some of his collection and could use some help. I've tried to do my homework and have visited numerous web-pages for info. I think I've figured out the most i.e. classes, crown or not, war decoration and white enamel, but given the many founding dates I'm not sure how to tell them apart. I've enclosed some images and would appreciate any hints of what to look for regarding period of issue.

1. Order of Military Bravery 4th classn 2nd grade (possibly Balkan War?)

2. Order of Military Merit 5th class with crown, piece-time

3. Order of Military Merit 5th class w/o crown, war decoration

4. Order of Military Merit 4th class piece.time

5. Order of Military Merit 4th class, war decoration

The Military Merits are all pre 1937, the war decoration pieces Great War period, nice grouping.

Paul. I suspect you are probably right on your dating for the Bravery cross.
