Combined Arms badge
Bulgarian combined arms badge. This looks better in person; actually early-quality enamel although it looks like paint in the image. My guess is this a pre-1960 award as the quality is much better than what we see from the 70s and 80s. Heavier, Tombak-like material. Slightly vaulted with soldered pin plate and brass pin. Maker marked: БМД
I'd seen the newer badges (70s, 80s?) of the same design but cheap; aluminium and paint. I got lucky finding this early model. I have been trying to collect Warsaw-Pact badges that are similar in design to Soviet badges. Many early badges are of the classic 'brass & enamel' style which I particularly like.Thanks,
Eric Gaumann
