Mongolia Honorary Medal of Combat
Gerd Becker replied to Ed_Haynes's topic in People's Republic Mongolia
It seemed to me, that the Horse and Soldier on yours has a little more wear, whereas other areas on mine have more wear than yours. Allways difficult to say from pictures. Yes, yours is on the left and mine is on the right. No, Dolf, i disagree, yours is in so bad condition, you should throw it in the trash can... but in my trash can Gerd -
Mongolia Honorary Medal of Combat
Gerd Becker replied to Ed_Haynes's topic in People's Republic Mongolia
Dolf, i have noticed some differences though. Look for example at the areas, i have marked. Mine has less wear but there are bigger differences than what could have been caused by wear. Here is a comparison: -

EK 1914 another collecters card
Gerd Becker replied to gregM's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Nice Card, Greg You can still buy this "Liebig Fleischextrakt"(Liebig meat extract) here in Germany. -
Hello Gentlemen, i found this on ebay. Please take a look on the box and the certificate? What is this? A collectors item? Anyone has an idea? The Order itself looks okay to me, as far as i can tell from this photos. Gerd

Yes, i have seen that one. Very impressive and very expensive

Interesting. That would have been a nice group, like it seems. In the Herfurth-Cataloge there is the 25 years MPR-Medal pictured with a soviet suspension and there are additionally the animal-symbols enameled, so there seem to be a special version for foreigners from both of these medals?!
-
Ahhh, thanks, gentlemen, i never heard about that before. I knew about the "thick" and "thin" 25 years MPR, but not about "thick" and "thin" "We Won" Medals. Do you have ever seen this on pentagonal suspension? I have seen the 25years MPR Medal on this kind of suspension, but never the "We Won" Medal. Thanks again

Dolf, thanks for the reply. And Thanks to Ed for the started threads about the Medals. Should we distinguish between these variations? If so, then i?ll post mine in the threads, Ed started. Gerd

This is obviously a "NIB" as Battushig only shows one of this Medals where the enameled Ribbon-suspender has three rivets on the reverse. There is a Honorary Labor Medal listed in this style, but no Medal of Combat exactly like this. I guess, its a common variation, but its not listed in the Battushig-book.

Rick, it seems, like Ed may have mixed this Medal up with the "25 years of MPR"-Medal!? Indeed a slippery slope. This is actually a really nice Medal and i can provide one of the missing digits:
