Colonel Apostol Zafirov Apostolov.

Here is Colonel Apostol Zafirov Apostolov's group. A quite exceptional group that was split for sale - I managed to purchase the whole group.

1951-09-08 Order ''Red Banner'' #106
1953-09-28 Medal ''For Military Merit''
1955-09-01 University Identification
1955-10-01 Honour Badge Of The Ministry Of Internal Affairs
1955-10-08 Order ''Red Banner''
1969-09-05 Star ''For People's Liberty 1923-1944''
Bulgarian Partisan Antifascist Union Membership

Apostolov's first award was a "Red Banner" #106 with a matching document. This is the lowest "Red Banner" with matching document I have ever encountered. This award will not have been a long service award so will be a good item to research.

Re: Colonel Apostol Zafirov Apostolov.

Apostolov's Medal "For Military Merit" was probably awarded for 5 years service.

Apostolov received his Honour Badge and second numbered "Red Banner" within a week. The "Red Banner" was probably awarded for 10 years service.
