Mongolia But they aren't supposed to be THIS WAY . . .

Awarded to the northern neighbor? -
If I am following this correctly, it would seem that original crosses do not have white enamel in the loops of the "buckle" at the bottom of the enameled ring around the center chiffre? I have had only one of this grade over the years, perhaps that's a telling fact in and of itself. here's an enlarged photo that shows the area concerned. I apologize for the poor quality, it is a very old photo.

Soviet A visit to Belarus
Stogieman replied to Bob's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
Thanks Bob, a pretty fantastic glimpse. Did you guys notice the multiple documents for academy badges in there?? -
I'm surprised at the price of the piece. A) because it's located in Bulgaria. (B) because it's "Private Bidder" and © because I know someone who had a hard time selling a cased one for quite a bit less than the current bid. Did you notice the "National Liberation" Order he's selling is paired with a Che 2 ribbon? Also, it looks like a copper colored center.... do we have an unknown/unreported third class version? Or just a bad scan??

The Second Class medal. All of these have the usual State Council reverse found on most military/political decorations. As opposed to the unique back faces found on the Distincion type awards. -
