This appears to me to be either of the following awards:
Soldier Cross "For Bravery" 1st class
Awarded to low rank soldiers for exceptional actions in the face of remarkable danger. There are 5 variations of this award:
The first was issued until 1915 and is dated 1879 on the reverse (as are all variations) and undated on the front with 7 symbols;
The second variation, which was issued from 1915 to 1918 is dated 1915 on the obverse and has Bulgaria written in Cyrillic;
The third variation is also dated 1915 on the obverse and has Bulgaria written in Cyrillic, with the exception of the letter I which is in Latin;
The fourth variation is dated 1941;
The fifth variation which was created in 1945 is undated, but has a star and two lines on the obverse.
The award is issues in 4 classes:
