Re: Bulgarian grouping
The nice late Red Banner is a rare find, They almost stopped being awarded after they stopped being awarded for long service. Do you have Ukaz info on the two later Bulgarian Orders?

Re: Bulgarian grouping
CtahhR - thanks for your latest post and your informative comments. My question from your last post, is the Red Banner rare from the standpoint that it was awarded late during his career or that the medal was awarded in 1981?

Re: Bulgarian grouping
The rarity is an award from after the institution of long service awards on 18th July 1959. Medals "For Military Merit" from after this date are also obscure.
Is there any mention of the unit on any of the jubilee documents? Even the unit number could be quite illuminating. Also what is the recipient's name? Going by past coincidence here it wouldn't be surprising if I have awards either from the same ukazes or to a relation. The number of the Red Star would also be helpful.

Re: Bulgarian grouping
CtahhR - Thanks for the background information. :thumbsup As for the name and other information, right now I am keeping it private, because I am working something that is taking sometime to go through.

Re: Bulgarian grouping
If it wasn't MVR I would have said it'd be Air Force because all three of the Red Banners I have that don't fit in to the "Long Service" box are to Air Force officers.
I don't think we are looking at unit 21045 here more likely 35220.
