Nice price!!! I was really close, at one point, to getting hooked on Bulgaria as they were, and still are, pretty damned cheap. Somehow I developed enough smarts to stick with Soviet. Well, and a few Mongolians....and a couple Yugoslavians.... and of course the German stuff...and the tallies and the hats and that one Brit bar.
I've done the re-ribboning a few times. While the results are usually nice it can be a pain in the butt, especially when you're 1cm short on ribbon. Plus, you know you're destroying history. Yeah, it wasn't authentic to begin with, probably, but you're just making it worse.
Anyway, if you do want to re-suspension I have a bunch of late-issue, aluminium, Soviet single suspensions you can have cheap (or trade).
