His name is Йордан Илиев Пенев. A very nice early variation with the extra plate behind the star. This Order was established as a Partisan award (as it certainly wasn't honouring people serving in the Bulgarian Army 1941-44) but from 1959 it became more and more a commemorative or long service award.
A partisan is often identified as such on Bulgarian documents. Jordan Penev is here and Nikola Nachev over there.
You may wish to straighten the ring with the text on it as it seems to be floating out of position.
