gjw Posted May 17 Posted May 17 Hey all, does anyone have the Order of precedence for the ODM of communist Bulgaria? Trying to arrange my collection by precedence. Many thanks! Stay Well My Friends Greg
Megan Posted May 17 Posted May 17 Hi, Gordon. Wikipedais suggests this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders,_decorations,_and_medals_of_Bulgaria#People's_Republic_of_Bulgaria_(16_September_1946_–_10_November_1989) - although I'd ignore the honorary titles and prizes, go straight from the Hero stars to the Orders & Medals below. Lukasz suggests this: https://www.medals.pl/bg/bg3.htm My attempt is here: https://medals.org.uk/bulgaria/peoples-republic/bulgaria-pr-text.htm

The wiki info is okay, but I think the O of P isn't exactly correct given my limited knowledge. Many thanks again! Greg
Megan Posted May 17 Posted May 17 You're welcome, Greg. I always tell students that Wikipedia is very useful especially if the article has good references/links, but never to rely on it. If you have any suggestions as to how mine can be improved, I'd be grateful.
gjw Posted May 19 Author Posted May 19 Thanks again. I've found your site to be invaluable for many things. You've done a wonderful job and service to us collectors. The only thing I can suggest is to marry up pictures with the links. I do understand this can be a monumental task. I know you've done that for many. Keep up the good work! Greg
Megan Posted June 2 Posted June 2 I spend probably far too much time looking for images to fill the gaps... several dealers/auction houses have been kind enough to give me the run of their catalogues, and there are also many generous collectors who share images of medals they possess... then it is a matter of time, never enough, to get them all onto the website! Could do it fulltime, quite easily - and probably will if I ever retire!
