    We have to be glad that after all 3 years of world madness people still have motivation to write books on interesting military topic

    Greeting Graf!

    In fact, there is no special reason. When I started to decide to collect some orders, I saw the Bulgarian. Although it is difficult to find stock in the local market, I still enjoy the process of collecting. Whether it is the Kingdom of Bulgaria or the People's Republic of Bulgaria, I like the design of their orders and certificate styles. They have always fascinated me to understand this country that I have not visited yet. 

    I enjoy the process of collecting Bulgarian orders, it is a spiritual pleasure!

    Sincerely

    Steve

    Example

    All the information in the book matches his story and Awards

    This grouping is of general Popov aka Popoff

    In one of the letters to his wife he mentioned that he was just promoted to General Rank This is supported from a letter from the German High Command addressed to him as General

    In another letter he mentioned that he was awarded 2nd Class of the Austrian Order for Military merit with decoration

    Also in the grouping is his Certificate from the primary School, which supports the data for his place of birth
