Igor Ostapenko Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 Great ! THANK YOU !!!! But why Badge on hungarian ribbon ? ( I think these badges was made of gold )

Unfortunately, this is not the only decoration with incorrect ribbon at this museum. There are many such examples, including whole bars. Edited November 24, 2016 by ilieff
Igor Ostapenko Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 can you ask in Museum please - this Badge from Prince Alexander collection ?

ilieff Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Hi Igor, I do not currently live in Bulgaria and cannot pay regular visits to the museum. Plus, it will take some time as I've asked if they have ready photographs and they said 'No!'. Taking photographs of the awards would also involve money. Ilieff Edited February 25, 2017 by ilieff
Igor Ostapenko Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 May be Mr. Manov can help us ? We need pictures of badge reverse and picture of box ( on the box - producer of badge !!! )
922F Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Someone had good fortune!! Genuine autographed image [carte de visite?] dated 20 April 1893? Any information on the reverse?
new world Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 On 31/08/2016 at 10:53, Igor Ostapenko said: this badge was in emedals store Expand What is the meaning of the * (star) mark on this badge?
Graf Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Hi New World, I have few Red Cross Badges and Bulgarian Orders that are marked with this sign. Actually if you look one of my badges is similar as eMedals badge and is marked with the same sign The sign means that the Badge is made from Brass There are fe Bulgarian Orders -Austrian made - that are marked with this sign Many war time Austrian Orders were made from brass and marked with the star,or more correctly called asterisk(*) sign and were considered as temporary awards that later were replaced with corresponding correct gold or silver gilded ones Graf Edited March 12, 2017 by Graf
new world Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Thank you Graf. I have few awards with the asterisk as well. One of them is St Alexander 4th class from Boris period. It's well made award, so I am not sure your theory about them being temporary ones is valid. What would they be replaced with? Perhaps asterisk means something else...
