ilieff Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Image courtesy of the National Military Museum in Sofia A very rare commemorative badge for officers, who graduated with the first issue of the military school in 1879. Likely not an officially sanctioned award, per se. It clearly shows that the pitched-roof* design of the heraldic Bulgarian crown is well established by 1903/1904 and that it bears no connection to the proclamation of Independence in 1908. *aka flat-top crown, aka square-domed crown, aka 'tsar' crown, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
