Richard Gordon Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I don't recognise it nor can offer a suggestion. Sorry.
Luftmensch Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 The crown feels a little bit like a Bulgarian crown but is by no means a ringer.Any world travellers out there seen this castle before?

It does seem like a Bulgarian crown. But I can't place that castle view. The details don't match up with Veliko Tarnovo. Maybe a different Bulgarian castle?
