[Mozzabloke]

Does anyone know of any good Bulgarian collecters guides preferably in English and if so where you can buy them.

Im branching into Bulgarian awards because the prices and availability of Soviet stuff are getting crazy.

Thanks

Mark

I have couple of guides only one in English.

The best I have found is 'Bulgarian Communist Titles Orders & Medals 1945 - 2002' (assuming you are interested in the communist era items only)

Authors : Boyan Savov & Angel Garbatchkov

ISBN : 954-91123-2-2

It list's all the different medals, orders and title's in colour with information about them.

However it does not mention the different types of variations available, issue numbers, and which medals came in presentatiopn cases or not.

Bulgarian reference guides have been listed in this thread.

Gentlemen,

The book Mark is referring to ('Bulgarian Communist Titles Orders & Medals 1945 - 2002' Authors : Boyan Savov & Angel Garbatchkov) is scaled down version of Todor Petrov's book.

That's the best reference on Bulgarian awards, especially on Royal ones.

Printing quality is top, information is the most complete I've seen. The book is massive and is well worth $100 or so price.

I have a copy that was presented to me by the author - Professor Pavlov, with his inscription.

William,

You mean the book "Bulgarian Orders and Medals" by Petko Pavlov?
Who is Todor Petrov?!
Is the text of this book equally in Bulgarian and English, or as some others just a couple of pages in English?

Thanks a lot,

Dolf

hello, I recently bought what seems to be the first edition of Todor Petrov book's on bulgarian orders and medals (royaulty and people republic). Entirely written in bulgarian, Sofia, 1998 dated. Not a lot of photos about booklets.

Is there some of you fellow who have the following edition wih english translation?
I would know if the author has brought more booklets photos in the second edition...(bevause I don't need to buy the second edition if the only novelty is the english translation)

thanks, sebastien

Sebastien,
I have the 2002 edition of Petrov's book. An introduction is provided in English and all pictures are subtitled in English. The general text is Bulgarian only. I assume the pictures are the same as in the earlier issue because in this issue also, almost no documents or booklets are shown.

hello Dietrich, thanks a lot for your help. Your hypothesis seem to be the only one good, because in my exemplar I see only pics for 1944-45 medal doc. Thanks a lot!
