Ed's Mongol Morass

[Ed_Haynes]

Since others have done so, let me post my small (but growing) Mongolian collection all in one place.

First groups, real and documented or asserted.

Orders and so on.

(As others have said, close-ups and details on request. More to come . . . .)

[Stogieman]

Nice group-shots Ed and an impressive start to Mongolian. Very cool. 2 Sukhbatar Orders to one man/woman!??? Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some more . . .

[Ed_Haynes]

And, for now, "it", but "watch this space" . . . .

[Stogieman]

Ed, just wonderful. These pieces are each beautiful in their own right...... but as a "group" display..... breathtaking. PS: Check the Mongolian Forum thread with photos "in wear".... there's Choibalsan wearing a type 1 Interior Ministry Badge!!!

There's a closer-up photo of "Big C" wearing that same badge get-up in Dr. B's book. Have added it to the referenced thread.

Ed,

Wow! Very nice collection indeed!

Specially those pieces I don't have myself, such as A 25.1 (or is it A 25.2? the one posted yesterday on another thread, right? 1st piece, far left, 2nd row, 2nd pic) and A 26 (the piece to the right of this one just mentioned) and D 02 (3rd piece, left to right, 1st row, 4th pic).

Btw, I see you have two Medal for Unselfishness (1st and 2nd pieces, far left, 2nd row, 3rd pic).

I have one, mine is A 40.4 I believe, as it is not numbered.

Which ones you have?

Can you please post closeups, front and back of these two, please? Thanks in advance.

Congrats once again!

No Type 2 "Internal Ministry" egg? Igor just raised his prices on these again... His pricing policy leaves me totally baffled!

Fantastic Mongolian collection, Ed

Its a slippery slope...

I blame you guys, when my girlfriend asks

[Ed_Haynes]

Over the next few days, I'll be adding some updates to my Mongolian collection. These will be things not shown in this thread before, though they may well be elsewhere on the forum.

Many of my specimens of these are shown on the relevant medal-specific threads, but here are some others, cased.

[Ed_Haynes]

More . . .

(With a few NIBs.)

[Ed_Haynes]

More . . . and some did not photograph well. Let me know if you want close-up scans of anything.

[Ed_Haynes]

More . . . and some NIBs here too (as throughout).

[Stogieman]

Well on your way to a "comprehensive" presentation Ed. Very nice!!

[Ed_Haynes]

More . . . . I have held out all the "school diamonds" in a (probably futile) effort to make some sense of them before posting.

[Ed_Haynes]

A few more . . . .

Not attempting the aimag badges now. Need to ponder these and maybe reorganise Battushig??

[Dolf]

Very nice, Ed!

That's not a Morass, it's the Golden Ho(a)rd(e).

[Bob Hunter]

I enjoy Ed's displays and his aliteration. Some of those items deserve close ups.
