Re: Colonel-General Avgust Hristov Kabakchiev.
Close.... but not the full set....
The Hero-Star is very much here with me.... (and accompanied documents) It has been doing the circuit for 4 or 5 years..... (less the Gold Star I saved from being melted).

It's really interesting how these mega sets either disappear somewhere or make the rounds for a while (sometimes losing pieces along the way, sadly). |

Re: Colonel-General Avgust Hristov Kabakchiev.
Nothing else in the collection, including photographs.
The group was never offered in a single piece so there is not anyone to blame for the group being scattered. As well as being awarded with many portable awards, Avgust was also awarded a number of non-portable table medals that sold for silly money. Although I only have the single documented item, I am also very happy with the fact that had I not bought it, it would no longer exist. Can't complain at all.....

It seems I recorded the serial numbers of his Soviet awards, if that would be of interest. |

Re: Colonel-General Avgust Hristov Kabakchiev.
If you look at the reverse of the star in the first post you can see that it was tested for content to be "weighed in".
I was fortunate enough to be not only in the right place at the right time but in a position where the cased Gold Star and documents were purchased for me as a gift. Of all of the HSLs of Bulgaria this one happens to be one of the most desirable, a fact that a goldsmith doesn't care about. To date this is the pinnacle of my PRB collection.

Re: Colonel-General Avgust Hristov Kabakchiev.
As I've said before that's NOT the original "worn" star but one added by a dealer last year.
I'm not by the "awarded" star but it is still in the collection along with some of Avgust's other items.

Re: Colonel-General Avgust Hristov Kabakchiev.
Bingo!
I got the Star and paperwork a good time ago. A somewhat dodgy Bulgarian dealer (who also sells fakes) got a few of Kabakchiev's items (mainly paperwork) and then sold them off about a year after I had received the star and paperwork I have in the collection. Another Bulgarian dealer also got a jumble of his awards (table medals, non-Bulgarian stuff etc.) and sold them. Most of the items were bought by an Israeli (at inflated prices) but the "awarded" star and some other items remain in the collection. I believe the Israeli paid $800 for the "Jumble" of Table Medals and Badges (basically items with minimal appeal) and I know they paid $1800 for the HSL Documents matched to a star. $1800 for a HSL is about "$1000 over the odds" but the dealer selling it has such a reputation that even other Bulgarian dealers I deal with only have negative things to say about him (even before this HSL came onto the scene).
