This emblem is fixed the wall on the offices of Yambol's army barracks therefore I presume is the emblem of the Bulgarian army. 1886 is of course the year of Bulgaria's independence from the Ottoman Turks and the picture is of the Bulgarian version of St George slaying the dragon. By the way St George's Day (George Name Day) is on the 6th May and St George is the patron Saint of the Bulgarian Army.
