Note two oversized documents for Dimitrov Prize and tubes to store them.

Georgiy Dimitrov and other orders are of early emissions with serial numbers engraved on the reverse.

William,
my Bulgaria encyclopedia, published 1983 in East Germany, has a short paragraph about the actor Ivan Dimov: born 1897, died 1965, schooled as actor at the National Theatre in Sofia where he played many leading rolls between 1922 and 1961. He is also famous for his rolls in movies. (The little country of 8 million people had a movie industry?)

The encyclopedia lists only his Dimitrov Prize, not the Dimitrov Order as it does for other persons. The badge in front of the picture was awarded by the police. I wonder whether that really belongs in the group unless he was rewarded for a special acting roll glamorizing police work.
