new world Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) 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!

BalkanCollector Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Such a beautiful piece! Is it yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
922F Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 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.

ccj Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 It’s certainly beautiful. I’ve always loved Bulgarian orders, especially the order of bravery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

922F Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is nice box Do you have boxed 3rd Grade 2nd Class Ferdinand issue with the Grade and Class stamped on the lid I have and i have seen only boxes with the Ferdinand or Prince Batemberg logo 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
