Dating and Verification

The buttons feature a crowned lion, the emblem of the Bulgarian Army during the era of the Tsardom of Bulgaria (1908–1946). This specific design element, prominently used on military insignia of the time, dates the buttons to the period before World War II, likely between the First and Second World Wars. The crowned lion was officially adopted as a symbol of the Bulgarian monarchy and armed forces, signifying their origin from this historical epoch.
