Colonel Hristo Marinov Hristov.

[CtahhR]

Here is Colonel Hristo Marinov Hristov's group. A strange mix of Army and Ministry Of Internal Affairs awards. Hristov served in both the Bulgarian People's Army and Internal Troops but surprisingly only received a long service medal for 10 years MVR service.

His group is;
1948-12-27 Medal ''For Participation In The Patriotic War'' #067452
1955-10-08 Medal ''For Military Merit'' (Probably for 5 years service)
1957-05-10 Order ''Red Banner'' #9439 (Probably for 10 years service)
1963-09-01 For Faithful Honourable Service And Long Service Years In Bodies Of The Ministry Of Internal Affairs 3rd Class
1974-08-15 Jubilee Medal ''30th Anniversary Of The Ministry Of Internal Affairs'' #000593
1974 Jubilee Medal ''30th Anniversary Of The Bulgarian People's Army''
1975-03-14 Medal ''30th Anniversary Of Victory Over Fascist Germany'' #053755
1978-03-31 Jubilee Medal ''100th Anniversary Of The Liberation Of Bulgaria From Ottoman Rule 3-3-1878-3-3-1978''
1981-10-18 Jubilee Medal ''1300th Anniversary Of Bulgaria''
1982-06-18 Jubilee Medal ''100th Anniversary Of The Birth Of Georgi Dimitrov''

1985-05-09 Jubilee Medal ''40th Anniversary Of Victory Over Hitler's Fascism''
1985-11-06 Order “9th September 1944” 2nd Class

Also included is his Badge "Fighters Against Fascism And Capitalism 1946" which doesn't have a document but he is seen wearing it in his Medal booklet and also the Medal "25th Anniversary Of The MVR". I have a picture of this document but it was split from the group by a dealer and a "Koch" in Germany refuses to part with it. This "group" was rebuilt by me from 3 different dealers.

Here he is wearing the undocumented badge but surprisingly not his "Patriotic War 1944-5" Medal.

Here is his matching document to "Red Banner" #9439. These first three awards were split from other awards and sold as a single lot as it makes up the main value of the set.

Hristov received 3 of the 6 30th Anniversary Medals.

Hristov was also subjected to many of the numerous Jubilee Medals.

And finally a most probable Birthday present.
