Hello Shane,
I am glad to be a help for you :) Most of the former Communist countries were like that - awards systems were copied after the USSR. Majority of the countries established Hero title, some had Hero of Labor title as well. The highest orders were often named after prominent party leader or historical person (Dimitrov in Bulgaria, Sukhe Bator in Mongolia, Tudor Vladimiresku in Romania, Karl Marx in GDR, etc.). As for the symbols - hammer and sickle and stars were included in the design of many of Communist block awards. Best, William Last edited by new world; 06-19-2003 at 07:23 AM. |

Shane,
Just a little correction - H&S were symbols of agricultural and industrial labor. They were invented by the Soviets and used by most sattelite states with or without modifications. Alexei Quote:

Guys,
I thought I'd revive this old thread with some cool pictures of boxed HSLs. Alexei |

Bulgarian Title, Hero of Socialist Labor .
Title of Hero of Socialist Labor Bulgarian, 1st Type 1948 to 1955.
Established on June 15, 1948, a decree of the Presidium, the National Assembly. At first the title was named "Hero of Labor." Later, in December 1950, was renamed as "Hero of Socialist Labor." Was given for outstanding achievement in the field of agriculture, science, education, culture, arts, and to contribute to technical progress. The person delivering it also awarded the Order of Georgi Dimitrov. The star has a diameter of 32 mm and is made with 14k gold and decorated with the crossed hammer and sickle. On the back it reads: "Hero of Socialist Labor." Was delivered from June 1948 to November 1990. Even 1948, were delivered a few veterans of WWII, in the short period involved and were instrumental in the new Bulgaria. In that time period was given to 1718 people.

Re: Bulgarian Title, Hero of Socialist Labor .
Outstanding piece Ruiz.:thumbsup
I'm about to create a stir with the following statement: I believe that the design of the Bulgarian star is actually better looking and is easier on the eye because of the proportions than the one issued by the Soviet Union. The reverse is especially interesting and almost playful in design. The mint certainly made use of the limited space on the reverse.;) Phillip

Re: Bulgarian Title, Hero of Socialist Labor .
Here is the official replacement with the earlier suspension device. The R is an instant tell.

Earlier for the replacements... I'll post a later suspension replacement.... later....
Here is the final variation of the case. A very humble and plain case unlike the faux leather and gold bordered cases often see.
