Order "Red Banner".

The award was instituted on December, 13th, 1950 and was the first Bulgarian military award after September, 9th, 1944.
Awarded to military men for selflessness, bravery and heroism in wartime. The award was also awarded to Corps and divisions of the Bulgarian army, in wartime - " for special distinction in the struggle against the enemies ", and in peace time - " for special merit in strengthening the defensive power and safety of the PRB ".
Also awarded to the military men of the foreign states belonging to the Warsaw pact in armed actions against the common enemy.

The first award was on March, 10th, 1951 to Senior lieutenant Naiden Ivanov.

The designer and engraver was Onik Odabashjan, the award was made in the Bulgarian State mint.

The award has an oval form and measures 43х34 mm. On the left and right are laurel branches connected below by a tape of white enamel with the inscription "NRB".
At the top the branches are connected by a five-pointed star. Between the laurel branches is a flying banner with red enamel and the inscription " FOR SOCIALISTS OFTHE NATIVE LAND ". The background below the banner is dark blue and a figure of a charging soldier with a rifle is pictured.

Eddie.

Eric I haven't found any figures as yet of just how many of the various Orders were awarded. As soon as something turns up I'll post it. ;)

Here is the Order of Red Flag", 2nd emission. This one has no number on the reverse.

Hi gentlemen, here are some scans of docs from my collection. Those are worrying me, so if you could take some reflexion with me...(this is my minute of paranoia)
I got 2 set of documented red banner at cheap prices, two different dealers. The numbers didn't come with the doc. Of course the price was equivalent to the medal alone.
But check closer the writtings on presentation page...

2nd page: I'm not convinced the ink is a ballpoint pen one. But the guy have concerns with the s/n which is not of the medal. The photo reverse bears the name of the presentation pages.

Hi Danny,
with this number it would have to be within the first year so just a guess here because I have no document for it early to mid 1951.
