Graf Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Like the saying It was a while but it was worthwhile Congrats BTW Steve I noticed you live in Hong Kong I am curious how you became interested in Bulgarian Decorations Regards Graf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveBobby Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
