Nice small collection of the Order

It is nice to see more collectors are interested in Bulgarian Royal decorations.

Te Regency  Period 6th Class Order comes with Bravery Order ribbon indicating that it was awarded in war time

The higher classes had war decoration attached and the central medallions were different ( with white enamel)

-as the 5th class without crown on the middle of your photo

Hi PREM,

 

More information regarding Bulgarian Order for Military Merit you will find in Central and Eastern European States Section of this Forum

Here is a overview of the Commander Classes of this Order from all periods including the Regency and Republican Periods -the two bottom ones Notice that the republican Model has wreath instead of crown

Note: The Cross on the very left with the War Decoration is the 1st Class It is 75 mm wide It is from King Ferdinand Period

The rarest model is the one with so called "flat" reverse central medallions -only single pieces are known in the collectors world

 

Cheers
