Inside is the Ukaz for the award of marshal of Poland, Marian Spychalski, with the order of Sükhbaatar.

Dual language, mongolian and russian, mongolian side with live signatures of Zhamsarangiin Sambu and Tsedendamba Gotov.

Has anyone met these?

What kind of documents usually contained in them?

Maybe like in the USSR, awards for enterprises, certificates of heroes or certificates of unit banners?

Since I'm receiving messages that his awards are currently for sale on Bostock Medals, two of them, I would like to mention that the group in this topic was bought at Cowan's auction.

When I bought them, I had no idea to whom they were belonged. Only after opening the smaller frame to see if the Sardinian medal has a name I found out that it inscribed with his name. 

Trying to find more information, I came across other items that were sold on the same auction during previous years.

His uniform was sold in 2005:

Letters and other documents in 2016:

https://www.cowanauctions.com/lot/the-carter-and-ainslie-family-papers-181749

I have no doubt that all the items were sold by one of the decendants of the Ainslie family who lives in US.

I have is a question though regarding the pair that is currently for sale on Bostock Medals, why will highly decorated officer will have the clasp with only two awards, when only for Crimean war he had five of them?

Hey I was curious as to where you acquired the medals? I believe they may have been in my possession in that William Bernard Ainslie is my ancestor. I have some other items that are far more interesting and valuable. I would love to get together and play show and tell

English isn't my native language, can you please explain what do you mean by: "I believe they may have been in my possession"? Can you also please state what other items that are far more interesting and valuable do you have? What can be more valuable than attributed award group of officially inscribed awards? Of cuorse my question refers to military awards as this is the topic of this thread?

Very nice display, I wonder where the full size medals are located...…    Mike

In smaller frames

This one came with the one that included Sardinian and Turkish full size medals.

Order of the Bath and Miniature Medals that belonged to Lieutenant-Colonel William Bernard Ainslie, Commander of the 93rd (Sutherland Highlanders) Regiment of Foot.

Also from Ebay.

I agree Scott .

Any pics of the obverse ?

Thank you.

The picture of the front comes with closed swastika so you will find nothing interesting there.

If I'll buy it, I'll post the pictures.

What is your opinion on this one?

What is your opinion on this one?

Can it be original?

The date is very interesting

Somebody, sometime, took it off his body.

A German at the scene?

Or a grave-robbing ghoul?

Most probably Germans.

I have the same Order for a pilot who went MIA in 43.

If it was from the grave/ground, the condition of the award would be quite different.

With these specific medals, the "No." part is stamped as part of the medal. THEN the number is etched into it. That is the biggest sign. Im sure this is after the fact, but just fyi.

It's so only on the labor medals

I cam cross this Bravery medal, some what shabby, but not the ribbon (replacrement), and with a low number...2529 (to what date could correspond this...?)

Some in the general aspect had make me suspicious.... Evidentltly the nut is not original, or not bears any inscription on it.

Well, Gents, what do you think.

Have a Happy and, better that past year, 2010...

Fake like all other parts

This is later type of medal without number!

Just got my first two returns from Alexei. They came in well under a week. While I think these are quite (QUITE) interesting results, they come without translations, so I am still looking for someone to do translations.

The normal Researcher has been traveling and is off to get involved, again, in an auction in Helsinki. Make of that what you will.

I can do it for you.
