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

[new world]

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!

Such a beautiful piece! Is it yours?

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.

It’s certainly beautiful. I’ve always loved Bulgarian orders, especially the order of bravery.

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!!

[Petar Keserdzhiev]

Here is the 3rd Class 1st Grade

I have not seen box for the #rd Class 2nd Grade apart from the ones with only  Prince/King Ferdinand logo, but not with the Class stamped

Great One!

[Daniel Krause]

Amazing stuff!!! Great!

 

A question for the experts, are there any award lists for WW1 for the Bulgarian Orders available?

 

lots of greetings

Daniel

[new world]

There are partial award lists, a lot of them did not survive till our days.

[Daniel Krause]

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

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

[Bretzen]

Hi Graf,

this is the only box I have seen so far, of Ferdinand I. with the imprint Grade and  and Class.
