A late example of the Badge.

A 13th September 1989 awarded Badge "Excellent In Bulgarian Red Cross" #2554.

Finally, the heavy and well made Badge.

"25th Anniversary Of Service And Messages"

Isn't it more like: "25 years of work in communications" or "Worker of communications for 25 years"?'
Not that I am a Bulgarian speaker, but it seems so to me.

That's right. "25 Years Worker Of Communications". I confused the name with another Badge (I'm currently rehousing and cataloguing all the Bulgarian Badges and it's overwhelming). With 25 years service being celebrated in 1986, it would mean service starting in 1961 which would push back the date of birth before 1949.
