The flag of the Bulgarian freedom fighters



The flag shown on one of the stamps issued for the unveiling of the Hadzi Dimitar monument in 1935 (Mi 294) was used by the 19th century Bulgarian freedom fighters. The flag shows a golden lion on green background, and is reproduced in colour below. The inscription on the flag is also quoted at the bottom of the stamp and means 'Freedom or Death!'. The original flag is kept in the Sofia War Museum.
