Hi Dannybou,
I also own a set of these. What do you think of the quality of these pieces? I know they're not being faked, but if this is what the originals are like...

I know what you mean. Of all the Bulgarian and Soviet Orders that I own, these are the least........ nice to look at. They are 36mm in diameter but find that they were made cheaply. Compared to the other Orders, like a 9 Sept 44 Order, they are in the low end of the look and feel category.

Dannybou, thanks, so I'm not the only one.
New World: I'll try to get some of the older issued ones then...I was in danger of being put off buying any more Bulgarian stuff (although the 9 sept ones I own are nice). Thanks!

Let's shine some light into this topic.
It appears that there are 3 types of these orders: 1st type with S/N on large suspension 2nd type without S/N on large suspension 3rd type without S/N on small suspension Since I don't have the 2nd type all I can do for now is compare the 1st and 3rd type orders. Here are the basic stats for the 3rd class: 1st type: Weight: 27.2g Width:35.5mm Rim Hight: 2.7mm 3rd type: Weight: 22.1g Width:36.3mm Rim Hight: 2.0mm Here are the pictures for comparison:

Rusty are the 1st types made in the same manner as the 3rd? I find that they are not very esthetic and cheaply made.

1st type is made from some heavy metal. I don't think it's silver
3rd type is some light alloy. Hope it helps. Rusty.
