Badge "Conqueror Of Mountain Leaders".
Here is an interesting badge that should perhaps be presented in this thread even though it belongs to Bulgaria. The Bulgarian Tourism Society created a special award for the "Conqueror of the Mountains". Bulgaria has seven mountain chains. To acquire the special badge, a mountaineer had to climb the highest mountain in each of the seven mountain groups. The document below shows 7 fields each stamped and signed at a mountain peak as required before the alpinist could receive the badge and the special title. It took mountaineer Petrov 10 years to complete the tasks. Interestingly, he climbed Bulgaria's highest mountain in 1961 when it was still named Mount Stalin (2925 m). Today it is called Mount Moussala again.
