    No problem, Dolf, just glad (realy glad) to see you over here!!

    Help us disentangle all the mysteries of Mongol awards, please. We know so little. It is fun!

    :beer:

    (I shall be asking the fabled Dr. B about this this summer.)

    Ed,

    Thank you.

    I can try my best, but you already have a member who has a great knowledge about Mongolian awards for which I really fall in love about some 3 years ago.

    I'm talking of Jan (vatjan) to whom I owe most of the little bit I know. Thank you Jan! :beer:

    Regards,

    Dolf

    Dolf,

    The reason that I asked is that I have one(Guard's Badge) from the Soviet Union, Cuba, and Belarus. I have another coming in from the New Russian Govt as well. I was given the Cuban badge by a vet who made it to the USA! I would love to find all of these badges from the nations that had them.

    Thank you for your help!

    Paul,

    You're right, I forgot about the Cuban Guards Badge. I had seen it already so I knew the Cuban Army also must have some kind of Guards military units, but completely forgot when replying earlier.

    But I didn't know of other Guards Badges from other countries, including Belarus!

    All 3 Guards Badges I have on my collection, that I mentioned on my PM, are from the Soviet Red Army, btw. 2 from the WWII and post-WWII period and 1 more recent.

    Last year I visited a couple of Russian Navy ships (a battleship and a cruiser I believe) that stayed here a few days, and they had some Guards aboard. They were all wearing their Badge, the more recent type (but not the new Russian Federation one), and I was happy to take some pics :D

    Anyway, these Guards Badges are very nice indeed! :love:

    Regards,

    Dolf

    Thanks for this. Could you show us close-up scans of the reverses, please. Welcome to the forum and to our little Mongolian ger.

    :( again, just BASIC descriptions without the "hard" information we despersately seek as collectors--

    nothing about numbers awarded, makers, and so on-- just text descriptions of what each type of badge looks like--

    which we already know from looking at them! :(

    Damn - not a lot of progress the last 16 years since this booklet came out then :(

    :( No. That's what I was hoping for too.

    Well, it was a pioneer work for back then-- ad collectible now in its own right for that reason, like the 1960s and 1970s reference books that are waaaaay outdated for information value now.

    I had hoped with his inside-the-Soviet-system connections before things fell apart that there might have been some "secret" information as to award numbers and so on.
