Ed_Haynes Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I guess this is the best place to put this . . . ?In hopes that something interesting may surface from a decipherment of this one, from Ulanbaatar, . . . .Help please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 This is where I wish I had a clue as to what Mongolian names are like.Appears to be to one rankless Shagdaryn IshzhamtsIssued 30 June 1946 by "Military Unit 9999" which doesn't sound right... not enough numbers, wrong period for the codes in wide use...can you zoom in on the signature, particuylarly the stamp which is supposed to clarify what the scribble says?It purports to be a Lieutenant General named something "Rub(za?)"... no luck thus far on Steen Ammentorp's website.The document certainly looks good to me, so it may be air force or state security and thus not among the army generals list.

Ed_Haynes Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 (edited) And the best I could do with the stamp.Yes, Mongolian names are often more of a complexity that Soviet ones, but at least this isn't a mundane X Yovich Z certificate to a Russian. Thanks -- as always -- Rick! Edited August 6, 2006 by Ed_Haynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Definitely a correct 11 Republics seal stamp. I still can't mayke out the final three letters in the LtGen's name, though--RU X X X RUB?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Definitely a correct 11 Republics seal stamp. I still can't mayke out the final three letters in the LtGen's name, though-- RU X X X RUB?.... Rick, the name is Lt. General Rubin - military advisor to Marshall Choibalsan. 9999 is a code typically seen on the Victory Over Japan award booklets as awarded to Mongolians (and other foreigners?). This has been discussed over on the Mongolia forum. Not sure if the discussion is in the following thread, but at least you'll find a few more examples: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5226&hl=9999&st=100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
