One of the features is the lack of the lanyard loop at the back of the upper frame and its relocation to the base of the grip, can't be seen here because the original base lanyard loop was removed, but there are two holes in the frame for it.
The other Bulgarian features are the lack of the stock lug, and the markings in Cyrillic, in this example the Bulgarian word for fire was milled away before re-bluing. Original Bulgarian lugers have the Bulgarian crest of a rampant lion on the middle toggle and the DWM scroll moved to the top of the chamber. |

Chapeau, for the work and for your beautiful pictures!
