Unusual Bulgarian P.R Medal

[gjw]

Got this one today. Maybe not unusual, but different 

 

1300th Anniversary Of Bulgaria. Established on 12/16/2982

 

This version was intended for Foreigners.

 

Stay well my friends

Greeting Greg！

For this special medal there is a special flannel box. And I think they are usually awarded to recipients who are not from European socialist countries.

Yours

Steve

 

To support my argument, I have chosen to cite two photographs from an exhibition of orders and medals received by Lieutenant General Paul Kielenberg of the German Democratic Republic.You can see that the "foreigner" received an orange velvet box and a pentagonal medal.

Hey Steve, great info!!!  Many thanks.  I bet your right about non-europeans.  Makes sense as most of the european socialist nations followed the soviet suspension method.

 

Thanks again!!!!
