Paul,
Drop Theo a line. I'am sure he can point you in the right direction.

Hi Chet,
Theo sorted something out for me, but in summary this is kind of not the WWII place to be. However I look forward to visiting the museum etc.
This will please my gf .
Thanks for the hint.

There's a little militaria flea market in Sofia, near the Alexandrovski (whatever) chapel/church (what you call it?)

Bought two Soviet victory medals there and a patriotic war badge.

Thanks Nick,
However Sofia is a bit out of range for this holiday, however this
info is noted for a future Sofia vacation.

Alexander Nevski cathedral. There are also plenty of antiques shops and a very interestinbg Military museum - but that's far away from the seaside /400 - 500 km/

Hi Theo

Yep that was the name of that church, about the antiques shop's In Sofia: Don't think you where the first with the Idea of looting all TRM from Sofia, been there done that, this is what I found of TRM after an ENTIRE day of Antique shopping:

1 medal, yes yust 1 medal, An eagle order 4th class in case of issiue, I thought, yes finally a collecting break... But they knew there stuff They asked 500 euro for it, and since I didn't have expertice on these I past the offer, it could have been a fake...

1 bulgarian Luftshutz helmet, for a 100 euro, I passed on that one to hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhaahahahah ahahahah
don't know why that's funny.

That's it, 2 items after douzens of shop's so don't go levitating yust yet...
