Bob Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Any ideas on price Ed?If it helps: I got mine a while ago for around 100 USD. Haven't seen that many on the market recently though (unlike for instance recent tsunami of virgin land cultivators) so I'm holding on to mine as if I paid a lot more for it Odd though... more than 10.000 of these awarded yet where are they? Sometimes this is just a bit odd, similar to the Soviet Mother Heroine order... 500K awarded yet it is not that easy to find one with booklet / award document at all.

Stogieman Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Nice scans Dolf! This is one of the medals that has intrigued me... always wondered what constituted award criteria.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolf Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Nice scans Dolf! This is one of the medals that has intrigued me... always wondered what constituted award criteria....Rick,I thought these were (still are?) awarded only to foreigners, hence the difficulty to find them in Mongolia.But as Jan says above that "Most of these were, and are still, awarded to foreigners..." I'm not sure anymore.It seems logical that a Mongolian Friendship Medal would be awarded to foreigners, not to Mongolians, right?As for the award criteria I also don't know, but most probably for foreigners that helped Mongolia in some way I guess, but unfortunatelly no details Dolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Yes, I'd assume that most would have gone to friendly Warsaw Pact countries or to places like North Korea and, thereby, vanished because no one knew or cared what they were. Ever worse for the documents, I fear. A few probably would have gone to Mongolians involved in international relations (though, on quick glance, I can't find any in Battushig). As I understand it, the Medal of Brotherhood in Arms (# A 59, sorry I don't know the Mongolian name) was awarded on a more balanced basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Here's one being worn by a certain Mongolian, posted by Ed:http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtop...ost&p=910853rd ribbon in the 4th row from the bottom, underneath Cuban and East German stuff, and following the Soviet 1970 Lenin jubilee!

Ed_Haynes Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 And awards to Mongolians seem immensely uncommon. Most awards went to Soviets or other COMENCON "friendlies". Shall be posting a documented set soonish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was even a much better deal than I thought!These Friendship Medals are not among the easiest to find and they are certainly not among the cheap Medals either!Best,Dolf Edited July 1, 2006 by Dolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
