An authentic Bulgarian People's Republic medal "For 15 Years of Service in the MVR" on original 2nd class ribbon. Displays very well. Reverse of medal shows a Bulgarian MVR logo which is very similar to the Soviet KGB design. Desirable early brass mount.
 
Established in 1964, this medal was issued to policemen, fire fighters and, after 1969, to state security officers (starting that year Bulgarian Committee of State Security merged with the Ministry of Interior).
