Latest update: 21 March, 2021
| * | Most modern postal stationary from Bulgaria shows the Bulgarian Post Logo with its Lion Rampant. Including all such items would make this a general listing of Bulgarian postal stationary, and we do not see that as within our scope. We thus list only items where the logo is in the stamp indicium or part of the cachet design.
(Should you, however, wish to make a list of all items showing the logo, we'll gladly publish it or link to it......) |
