    Bulgaria -Commemorative medal -25th Anniversary of The April insurrection


    Recommended Posts

    I have recently added to my collection this lovely medal

    Sadly no ribbon Since the medal was given in 1901 it is very unlikely to get an original ribbon

    I am trying to figure out what other ribbon could be as close as possible to the original one

    The medals were awarded to the participants in the April 1876 insurrection against the Turks  in Special ceremony in one of the cities that took  part -Panagiurishte

    The number of awarded medals is unknown -at least for me

    • Graf changed the title to Bulgaria -Commemorative medal -25th Anniversary of The April insurrection

    Congrats, Graf

    The ribbon colours/alignment for this medal are somewhat similar to that of the "Order of 9 September 1944" (1st class) of the socialist era, but the silky moire appearance of the original material would be difficult to replicate. Plus, the ribbon widths are probably different, too. 

     

    PS: the ribbon you have secured appears to have slightly different colour width ratios, when compared to the medal with original ribbon you shared earlier 🤔

    Hi Ilieff,

    Thank for the feedback Yes it will be difficult to match 100% the original one

    However it is better then nothing
