Eric, sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but all of Gav's observations on the fittings, the etching, etc are correct. On top of that, the form of the hilt is incorrect and finally, this particular pattern was never adopted by the Bulgarian army.
We have all made the same essential mistake - buying the story instead of the item.
Regards,
