Kriegsmarine Admiral Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hello, no one was able to help me on the Central & Eastern European States thread so I will try here. Can someone help me determine the class of the Bulgarian Order of Military Merit from the last ribbon on this uniform? The uniform belonged to a German WW2 Vizeadmiral, Kurt von dem Borne. The device on the ribbon seems to be a crown and swords? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Can you get a better photo of the ribbon bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can try and zoom in? I was told it could be the Commander Class, since Borne was a Vizeadmiral? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the only photo of him I have, he is not yet wearing the ribbon of the Bulgarian Order of Military Merit. On that photo he is a Konteradmiral. So he had to recieve it either as Konteradmiral or Vizeadmiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
