Bulgarian 08 Crests

I posted this on the other fourm but didnt get any interest so will post this information here instead.

Bulgarian 08's come in two series the No Suffix and the "C" suffix
each of about 5000 guns. Common belief is that the "C" suffix range came after the No Suffix range but a study of the crests suggests that just the opposite is true and that the "C" suffix range is the first series.

The attached picture shows several crests, if you look closely there are two different variations and that a broken die occurs in the No Suffix range.

Hope you find this interesting
