    Bulgarian Order for Bravery 2nd class 1915 in case - super rare!


    Recommended Posts

    First time me seeing this super rare Order of Bravery 2nd class award in case if issue!!!

    Version 1915 was awarded during WWI. Just to give you an idea of how scarce this award is - total of only 16 awards were presented in this version, with just 9 given to Bulgarian Generals!!!

    I've seen couple of these awards without the case, this is first time in my collecting career that I encountered this medal in original case of issue!

    EXCELLENT!!  Sincere congrats!!  Saw only one before [unissued in brown card box with same style title as case] in a private collection, Sofia 1980 & sure it 'escaped' from a central holding depot.

    First time to see this!!  The Military Museum in Sofia did not have one of these [cased] in 1980 & probably not even now.  Never saw this degree cased in any private collection!!  Thank you for posting!!

    There is a box for the 3rd Class 2nd Grade for the King Boris Emission Yet to see similar for the King Ferdinand Emission with the Class and Grade stamped on the lid

    Hi New World,

     

    My apology We hijacked your topic and started listing lower Grades that are not as rare as your initial listing
